FOX Sports' Kristina Pink revealed Brissett was cleared to play but coach Brian Flores sent him back to the bench in favor with Tagovailoa. Brissett was named the starter for the game as Tagovailoa was relegated to the backup role while he recovers from a finger injury on his throwing hand. Pink said Brissett was frustrated. The Dolphins said he was questionable to return to the game.
