What happened: Nnamdi Madubuike, Teven Jenkins, Jonathan Greenard, Eli Stowers, Tim Patrick, Cedric Gray and Malik Davis are also ruled out, according to [Adam Schefter](https://www.threads.com/@adamschefter/post/DdKeSunFYTZ).

Why it matters: Tagovailoa had been named the Week 1 starter over Michael Penix Jr. on September 7, leaving the opening assignment disrupted just days after that decision.

What to watch: Sunday's inactive lists will establish which additional players will miss the opening slate.
