Final: Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins return home to defeat NY Giants

MIAMI GARDENS — The Dolphins will welcome the New York Giants to Hard Rock Stadium in Week 5 to get back on track after a lopsided loss at the Buffalo Bills last week. Keep scrolling for updates, and remember to refresh the page.

Miami (3-1) started fast but was eventually overwhelmed by the Bills (3-1) for the Dolphins' first loss of the season, which came one week after setting franchise records in a historic Week 3 win over Denver.

The latest injury news for the Dolphins includes offensive lineman Terron Armstead, who is expected to miss "weeks" due to a knee injury. He was injured and left the field under his own power in Sunday's loss at Buffalo. He dealt with knee, back and ankle injuries entering the regular season.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was quiet last week in his return from concussion protocol. He caught four passes for 46 yards in the Buffalo loss.

Dolphins schedule 2023

11:40 a.m. | Jaelan Phillips, Chase Claypool, Saquon Barkley inactive for today's Dolphins-Giants game

Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips will not be making his return for the Dolphins today because of an oblique injury.

Phillips had missed games against the Patriots and Giants and has only half of a sack this season. His absence will be felt because the Giants are coming off a game in which they allowed 11 sacks and have injuries along the offensive line.

Newly acquired receiver Chase Claypool, as expected, also is inactive.

Running back Salvon Ahmed is a healthy scratch.

The Giants again will be without running back Saquon Barkley, who has an ankle injury.
