Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip, thumb) upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Tagovailoa came into the week nursing hip and thumb ailments and was limited on Wednesday. The 27-year-old's thumb injury is on his throwing hand, but it didn't appear to hinder him at all while throwing passes on Thursday. Tua's injuries are something to watch heading into Sunday's game at Hard Rock Stadium against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, but they won't be something that keeps him from playing this weekend. Tagovailoa has looked better in recent weeks after a slow start, but losing top wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) for the year isn't going to help matters the rest of the way. Fantasy managers will want to consider him a low-end QB2 for a tough matchup against the Chargers defense as the club looks to put an end to a two-game losing streak.

According to Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip, thumb) is expected to be "without hindered performance" in Week 6 when his team squares off with the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. The 27-year-old was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice after picking up thumb and hip injuries in their loss to the Panthers in Week 5. Tagovailoa didn't appear to be hampered by the injuries last weekend, and it's good news that the team expects him to be ready on Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to continue keeping an eye on his status over the next few days, but it doesn't seem that he'll be in danger of being inactive.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip, thumb) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Tagovailoa apparently suffered a hip and left thumb injury during last Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The 27-year-old didn't show any signs of being injured when he threw for 256 yards with three touchdowns. He's finally starting to turn a page with five touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last two games. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Tagovailoa for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. It's the beginning of the week and the Dolphins are going to be careful especially with Tagovailoa's injury history. At the moment, fantasy managers should fully expect Tagovailoa out there for Week 6.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders (hip) is not ready to return for a Week 6 contest this Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Sanders remains on Injured Reserve and has yet to kick in 2025 due to his hip injury. His next chance to make his season debut will come next week when the team travels to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Riley Patterson should handle the kicking duties in Miami for at least another week. The 26-year-old has been perfect through five games, filling in for Sanders, but the problem is that he hasn't had much volume for fantasy purposes. He's gone 5-for-5 on his field-goal tries, including four makes from 40-49 yards out, and 12-for-12 on his extra-point opportunities. Patterson has been money so far, but fantasy managers should have better streaming options in Week 6 at kicker.

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller missed the first three games of the season with a hip injury, but he has made a huge impact in the last two weeks. He had two touchdowns against the Jets in his first game after returning following a year in retirement, and he found the end zone again in Week 5 against the Panthers. His snap count jumped from 16 (28%) in his debut to 32 (58%) in his second game back, and he should continue to get as much run as he can handle. Last year, Jonnu Smith was a productive tight end with Tua Tagovailoa, and Waller looks like he can be as he ramps up this season. Waller will help carry the load for Miami with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season, as Jaylen Waddle takes over the top receiver role. He's a fringe TE1 at this point, but if he stays healthy, it looks like he'll be able to be a solid standard-league starter in favorable matchups.
