Tua Tagovailoa will not play for the Miami Dolphins against the New York Jets in a crucial matchup, with Tyler Huntley stepping in as the starting quarterback. Tagovailoa, who is sidelined with a hip injury, has missed two consecutive games. His absence comes at a critical time as Miami (8-8) strives to keep its playoff aspirations alive.

Huntley had a strong performance last week, leading the Dolphins to a 20-3 win over Cleveland, where he completed over 80% of his passes and was the top rusher with 52 yards. Miami needs a victory alongside a Denver loss against Kansas City to secure a playoff berth. The team's health is precarious, with key players like Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill active despite recent injuries.
