If Tagovailoa is unable to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the team would turn to backup Tyler Huntley to take over in the starting lineup. Huntley started three games for Miami earlier this season while Tagovailoa was on injured reserve. The Dolphins went 1-2 in those games and Huntley threw one touchdown and one interception.

For the Dolphins, their Sunday showdown in Cleveland will be an opportunity to keep playoff hopes alive. Miami needs a pair of wins and some help to get back to the postseason for the third consecutive year.

The Miami Dolphins are down to their last two games of the regular season and neither come against top-level competition. On Sunday, the 3-12 Cleveland Browns will host the Dolphins with aims at snapping a four-game losing streak.
