Miami Dolphins coach reiterates support for Tua Tagovailoa as Deshaun Watson rumors swirl

MIAMI -- Dolphins coach Brian Flores gave a public endorsement Friday of Tua Tagovailoa, as rumors of a potential trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson again flared earlier this week.

"I don't really get into rumors -- Tua is our quarterback," Flores said when asked about Watson. "We're happy with the quarterback, our quarterback situation. I'll leave it at that, which I've said multiple times."

The Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday that a trade between Miami and Houston could be finalized this week involving Watson, who is facing 22 active civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior.
