Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said quarterback Tua Tagovailoa won't play against the New York Jets Sunday, after he suffered a concussion last week in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
McDaniel made the announcement at a news conference Monday, and said it was unknown when Tagovailoa will return to the field.

Tagovailova hit his head against the turf during Thursday's game against the Bengals and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher before being taken to a hospital.
