According to Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are naming first-round QB Tua Tagovailoa their starting quarterback going forward.
Tagovailoa made his NFL debut late in a 24-0 win against the Jets this past weekend.
In the final minutes of the game against the Jets — Dolphins coach Brian Flores told Tagovailoa to warm up, and with a little over two minutes left, Tagovailoa entered the game, throwing his first two NFL passes, both completions.
Fitzpatrick added: “That was just a cool moment for him, just the reception from the crowd that was here and us on the sideline.”
After the game, Tagovailoa returned to the field, sitting down at the middle of the 15-yard line alone in full uniform for about 10 minutes soaking in the moment.
