Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will continue to start in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced Tuesday on Twitter.
Dolphins coach Brian Flores said Monday that he wouldn't be pressured into starting rookie Tua Tagovailoa and noted that his past hip injury remains a factor in the decision.
The 37-year-old Fitzpatrick has started the first four games of the Dolphins' season, leading the team to a 1-3 record. He's produced a 69% completion rate, six total touchdowns and five interceptions so far.
He threw for 315 yards and ran for 47 more and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
