Two Dolphins QBS out of concussion protocol

-

Miami quarterbac­ks Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewate­r cleared concussion protocol, but rookie thirdstrin­g QB Skylar Thompson will make his first NFL start Sunday.

Tagovailoa, injured in Week 4, is expected to start in Week 7. Bridgewate­r will be active Sunday as a backup to Thompson, a seventhrou­nd draft pick from Kansas State.

■ Jets: Defensive end Vinny Curry, who missed last season because of complicati­ons after a splenectom­y, was activated from injured reserve and will make his New York debut Sunday, ESPN reported. The 34-yearold has 32.5 sacks in nine NFL seasons (eight with Philadelph­ia, one with Tampa Bay).

■ Commanders: Quarterbac­k Carson Wentz sustained a fractured finger on his right (throwing) hand Thursday with two minutes left in the first half of Washington’s win at Chicago and will see a specialist Monday in Los Angeles to determine how much time he might miss.

■ Colts: Running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) were ruled out for Sunday. Taylor, last year’s NFL rushing champion, will miss a second straight game after having missed only one game in his first two NFL seasons.

■ Buccaneers: The NFL fined quarterbac­k Tom Brady $11,139 for trying to kick Atlanta defensive end Grady Jarrett after a sack in Tampa Bay’s Week 5 win.

■ Jaguars: Wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. (hamstring) and defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi (quadriceps), both starters, were ruled out for Sunday.

■ Chargers: Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), sidelined since Week 2, is doubtful for Monday.

■ Browns: Cornerback Greedy Williams (hamstring) was activated from IR to make his season debut Sunday.
