Hurts hand in warmups Tufele suffered a hand injury during pregame warmups and is questionable to appear in Sunday's game against the Dolphins in London.

Impact Tufele avoided the inactive list and will dress for the contest, but because he sustained the injury in warmups, it's unclear if he'll be available at any point. The rookie nose tackle made his NFL debut in the Week 5 loss to the Titans, playing 13 snaps and recording no tackles.
