Tua Tagovailoa might be the future for the Miami Dolphins but Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the starting quarterback after the team announced Monday the veteran will start Week 1 against the New England Patriots, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.
Head coach Brian Flores noted the shortened offseason played a role in this decision, per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN. Tagovailoa will be the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart.
While there are still high expectations for the No. 5 overall pick of the 2020 NFL draft, he still has room to grow after an inconsistent camp.
