The Miami Dolphins have given rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa every chance to develop this season, but they’ve relied on Ryan Fitzpatrick, alias “Fitzmagic” as their closer in the clutch. They won’t be able to count on Fitzpatrick against the Buffalo Bills this weekend, though - as Fitzpatrick tested positive for COVID-19, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
Because of the positive test, Fitzpatrick will miss what would’ve been his ninth game against his former team. Fitzpatrick started his team’s first six games before being benched for Tagovailoa, but Dolphins coach Brian Flores has had a quick hook.
