Former Alabama signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa has officially been ruled out of the Miami Dolphins Week 3 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tagovailoa was carted off the field last Sunday after being sacked for the third time in just two series of action against the Buffalo Bills.

The Dolphins will start NFL veteran Jacoby Brissett this Sunday in the absence of Tagovailoa. Brissett replaced Tagovailoa last week after the injury, but the Bills man-handled the Dolphins 35-0.

Tua led the Dolphins to a road win over Mac Jones and the New England Patriots in Week 1.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor the status of Tagovailoa over the coming days.
