AFC Notes: Tua Tagovailoa, Breece Hall, Bills, Dolphins, Jets

Bills

  • Bills DE A.J. Epenesa was fined $15,400 for unnecessary roughness (hip-drop tackle) in Week 11.

Dolphins

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has gained notoriety for his no-look passes, similar to how point guards play in the NBA. Tagovailoa said he doesnโ€™t take any inspiration from basketball players and is only trying to manipulate coverages with his eyes. 

โ€œI would say no basketball player that I know inspired me to do any of that,โ€ Tagovailoa said, via PFT. โ€œDefinitely get a kick out of it. Itโ€™s always fun when you can manipulate the defense with your eyes just because you know the spots in which guys are going to be with the throws and youโ€™ve been working on that for some time with those guys as well.โ€

Jets

  • Jets RB Breece Hall tweaked his knee in their 28-27 loss to the Colts. Interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said Hall did not practice on Wednesday but is โ€œstill hopefulโ€ about his availability for Week 12, via Rich Cimini. 
  • Ulbrich indicated fifth-round QB Jordan Travis has suffered โ€œsome setbacksโ€ with his recovery from an ankle injury, per Connor Hughes. Travis was out for the season on the reserve non-football injury list recovering from a leg injury that ended his final season of college football. 
  • As for Aaron Rodgers (hamstring), Ulbrich said Rodgers is the healthiest heโ€™s been over the last 5-6 weeks and will be their starter if heโ€™s able to go, via Cimini.
