Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick tests positive for COVID-19, out vs. Buffalo Bills, per source

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be unavailable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Buffalo Bills, a source confirmed to ESPN.

He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday afternoon, the team announced.

The Dolphins and the NFL have conducted initial contact tracing with no high-risk close contacts determined as of Thursday afternoon, a source told ESPN, but that process will continue. Fitzpatrick practiced fully Wednesday and wasn't listed on the injury report, but he didn't practice Thursday afternoon, indicating that the positive COVID-19 test was a recent surprise.
