Overview

• Offensive coordinator Frank Smith said the team is not concerned about Tagovailoa’s availability and does not anticipate a setback for Sunday.
• Tagovailoa was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice after being limited the day before with hip and left-thumb issues.
• The Dolphins are 1-4 and host the 3-2 Chargers on Sunday, with both teams coming off Week 5 losses.
• Tagovailoa has completed 70.7% of his passes for 1,008 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions through five games, as Miami adjusts without season-ending Tyreek Hill.
• The matchup revisits the 2020 draft link between Tagovailoa and Herbert, with Tagovailoa up 2-1 head-to-head as Los Angeles manages recent penalties and offensive line changes.
