Miami Dolphins offense, Tua Tagovailoa struggle in Ryan Fitzpatrick’s absence

DAVIE — The Miami Dolphins’ first practice without Ryan Fitzpatrick produced a subpar performance for the rest of the offense.

Chemistry between the quarterbacks and their tight end and receivers is clearly becoming a problem for Miami considering how many passes where sprayed all over the field with no receiver in sight, or nearly intercepted.

There were nearly half a dozen possible interceptions that were dropped by defenders on Friday, the first day Fitzpatrick, last year’s MVP, was away from the team for personal reasons.

It is hard to say who is more at fault for the handful of errant passes thrown by Miami’s first of five first round picks, and the one interception Breon Borders pulled down going against the former Alabama standout and turned into a turnover he returned for a touchdown.
