The man who saved the Miami Dolphins in Week 16 won’t be available to repeat those heroics with the playoffs on the line. The Dolphins placed quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on the COVID-19/reserve list Thursday, making Fitzpatrick ineligible for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
We have signed QB Jake Rudock, have placed QB Ryan Fitzpatrick on the reserve/COVID-19 list, placed LB Elandon Roberts on injured reserve, and activated WR Kirk Merritt as a COVID-19 replacement for Sunday’s game.
The loss comes at an awful time for Miami.
