Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is active for the team’s Thursday night road game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tagovailoa, who sustained injuries to his back and ankle in the team’s win over the Buffalo Bills, was listed as questionable to play after being estimated as a limited participant in walkthroughs on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin), left tackle Terron Armstead (toe), cornerback Xavien Howard (groin/glute), safety Brandon Jones (chest), defensive tackle Raekwon Davis (knee) and outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (illness), who were all listed as questionable, are also active.

Rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson is active for the first time this season.

Wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ribs/toe) is inactive. The Dolphins also deactivated tight ends Cethan Carter (concussion) and Hunter Long (ankle), running back Myles Gaskin, cornerback Noah Igbinoghene and rookie wide receiver Erik Ezukanma.

NFL looking into filming of Dolphins practice

NFL security is looking into a Twitter user who posted video of the Dolphins’ walkthrough Wednesday, a league source told the Miami Herald.

Aware that the practice was being filmed, the Dolphins put 12 players on the field for offensive plays to disguise the plays they were practicing, according to NFL Network.

The Dolphins changed their flight schedule and traveled to Cincinnati Wednesday morning as a result of the forecasted path of Hurricane Ian. The team conducted its walkthrough at the Nippert Stadium at the University of Cincinnati.

ROSTER MOVE

The Dolphins elevated offensive lineman Larnel Coleman from the practice squad for Thursday’s game, giving them eight offensive linemen available. It’s the third and final elevation for Coleman. The Dolphins also officially announced the signing of wide receiver River Cracraft to the 53-man roster.
