Tua Tagovailoa could return this Sunday against Jacksonville after returning to practice on Tuesday.

Former Alabama star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down in week 2 of the NFL season with broken ribs and was later placed on the injured reserved list.

Even though Tua returned to practice today, his status for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in England is still unknown. The Dolphins are just 1-4 through the first five weeks of the season.
