Dolphins' Brian Flores: Tua Tagovailoa Isn't Facing 10-Game Audition After Debut

The Miami Dolphins aren't going to determine 's fate as their quarterback of the future based on what happens over the rest of this season.

Head coach Brian Flores told reporters on Thursday that the team wasn't "auditioning" Tagovailoa to potentially select another quarterback early in the 2021 NFL draft:

"I'm just going to tell you about my thinking. We brought Tua here because we believe in him, same as all the other draft picks. We believe in developing players ... and improving players on a daily basis. That would be the opposite of giving someone a 10-game audition.
