Dolphins without Tua, Waddle vs. Browns

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle are inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, the team announced.

Tagovailoa, who was initially deemed doubtful to play, is dealing with a hip injury, while Waddle will miss his second straight game with a knee issue.

Tyler Huntley is expected to start with Tagovailoa down. Miami also elevated quarterback Skylar Thompson to the active roster Saturday.

Huntley has started three games this season, holding a 1-2 record while throwing one touchdown to one interception.

The 7-8 Dolphins are still mathematically in the playoff hunt but require help to get in. They must win Sunday's game to remain alive.
