Tua Tagovailoa has been benched, Matt Judon has been released, and now Minkah Fitzpatrick has been ruled out of Week 16. The Miami Dolphins have only one choice with their veteran defensive back...keep him out of the last three games.
The Dolphins are playing for nothing. They can call it pride, they can call it the love of the game, but they are not playing for anything more than closing out the season and not getting hurt. Fitzpatrick didn't make it to the end; he shouldn't be expected to.
Miami's best choice is to keep Fitzpatrick on the sidelines.
