With Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick unexpectedly absent from Friday’s practice for personal reasons, the team had to move forward with Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Rosen under center.
As noted by Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the two quarterbacks has not done very well in practice.
Tagovailoa completed six of 15 passes for 99 yards with two interceptions. Rosen completed six of 14 throws, for 104 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Tagovailoa was fired once, and Rosen was fired three times.
While those numbers do not say much when it comes to expected performance in a game, it does worry about the state of the team’s quarterback position as Fitzpatrick’s absence will last longer than a day or two.
If the Dolphins add Jake Rudock or another quarterback, this could be an indication that Fitzpatrick will not be returning in the immediate future. Which may be an indication that the quarterback position in Miami could become a place of major need.
