Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was dressed but not expected to play Sunday. An injury to Jacoby Brissett, though, necessitated Tagovailoa to return to the field a week earlier than expected.

Tagovailoa, who has a fracture in his left middle finger, is expected to be ready to start this week, Brian Flores said Wednesday morning.

Tagovailoa was limited at Wednesday’s practice, however.

Brissett (knee) was a full participant.

The Dolphins did not have defensive back Elijah Campbell (toe) or defensive tackle Christian Wilkins (quadriceps). Safety Brandon Jones (ankle) and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (back) were limited.
