Tua Tagovailoa off injury report after two full practices, ready to play against Chargers

Tua Tagovailoa is officially available for Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Although Tagovailoa (left hip/thumb) was limited earlier in the week, he participated fully in practice Thursday and Friday and is not listed on the Week 6 injury report.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said in his Friday press conference that Tagovailoa does not suffer from an injury to the same hip that bothered him last season. But it’s the same hip that had to be surgically repaired after a season-ending injury suffered during his final college season at Alabama. McDaniel noted, however, that this is a completely different injury.

Tagovailoa has completed 70.7 percent of his passes for 1,008 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions this season.

Defensive back Elijah Campbell (quadriceps) and linebacker Tyrel Dodson (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 6.

Offensive lineman Aaron Brewer (pectoral) and cornerback Storm Duck (ankle) are questionable.

Tight end Darren Waller (hip/rest), offensive lineman Larry Borom (thumb) and receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (knee) are off the report and ready to play.
