The Miami Dolphins are naming rookie Tua Tagovailoa their starting quarterback, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. Miami is currently on bye, giving Tagovailoa extra preparation time before the Dolphins meet the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 1. "They felt as if now, with Tua Tagovailoa being that much further removed from that devastating hip injury that he suffered last year at Alabama, having shown what he can do in practice, having gotten the reps made up for what he lost when he did not have an offseason, did not have a preseason to get ready," Pelissero explained on NFL Network. "Then seeing his first game action, even on a limited basis this past weekend, they believe now is the right time for Tua time. They're also heading into a bye here, which gives them a little bit more time for Tua to get ready, mentally even more so than physically." He watched Joe Burrow go to Cincinnati with the No. 1 pick before he landed with Miami at No. 5. And instead of taking the field in Week 1, as Burrow did in Cincinnati, Tagovailoa was relegated to watching Fitzpatrick from the bench. Fitzpatrick excelled as the starter, completing 138 of 197 attempts (70.1 percent) for 1,535 yards and a 10-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He led Miami to three wins, including two in their last two games, with both coming by wide margins.
