Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will step in and start for Miami at QB in Tua’s absence.
Brissett previously started five games this season with Tagovailoa was out with fractured ribs, losing all of them.
The Dolphins are 1-7 this season and have lost seven straight games following an opening weekend win at New England.
Houston is also 1-7 but contrary to Miami, the Texans will be getting their starting signal caller back in the lineup this week as Tyrod Taylor returns from an injury.
The game at Hard Rock Stadium is scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
