Miami Dolphins not set on QB starter as Tua Tagovailoa's thumb injury lingers

DAVIE, Fla. -- Tua Tagovailoa's left thumb injury has lingered into its second week, casting uncertainty on whether he will be able to start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

If Tagovailoa can't play, veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick would start for the Miami Dolphins once again.

Dolphins coach Brian Flores said Friday that the quarterback situation would be similar as last week in which the coaching staff would review the practice film to determine if Tagovailoa is healthy enough to play and give them the best chance to win. The Dolphins are comfortable with Fitzpatrick, giving them room to lean toward caution if there is still doubt on Tagovailoa.
