  • Won't be handed starting job

    Coach Ron Rivera said Fitzpatrick will need to compete with Taylor Heinicke for the starting quarterback job, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Rivera also mentioned Kyle Allen, who is working his way back from a severe ankle injury. Neither Allen nor Heinicke seems especially likely to stand out this summer, but Rivera did make it clear Fitzpatrick won't be handed a starting job. While the 38-year-old took most of the first-team reps Wednesday, per Ben Standig of the Athletic, it sounds like Heinicke will also get some work with the starters during training camp.

  • Comfortable with new teammates

    Fitzpatrick said he's already built chemistry with his pass catchers and expects to spread the ball around this season, NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Terry McLaurin will be the focal point of the passing game, but he should have more help around him this year after Washington acquired Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphries and third-round pick Dyami Brown in the offseason. On the other hand, Fitzpatrick was the only significant addition at quarterback, joining 2020 holdovers Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen (leg) and Steven Montez. Given those alternatives, the 38-year-old Fitzpatrick should have some margin for error in the starting role, especially…read more

  • Confirmed atop depth chart

    Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Fitzpatrick will come to Washington as the No. 1 quarterback, though Rivera also said he expects competition at the position, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: We can probably write the second part off as coach-speak if Washington enters training camp with Kyle Allen (ankle) and Taylor Heinicke (shoulder) as the only other options at quarterback. The upcoming NFL Draft is where there's some potential for things to get complicated, as Washington can still make a good argument for selecting a young QB within the first few rounds. A rookie wouldn't necessarily push Fitzpatrick aside, but there would at least be some added pressure if the veteran were to…read more

  • Heading to Washington

    Fitzpatrick agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with Washington on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 38-year-old spent the past two seasons in Miami and appeared in nine games during 2020 while completing 69 percent of his passes for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions and also rushing for 151 yards and two more scores. Fitzpatrick began last season as the starter for the Dolphins before Tua Tagovailoa took over the job, but the journeyman now is on track to start for Washington in 2021. The Football Team recently cut Alex Smith, and next man up Taylor Heinicke (shoulder)…read more

  • Not expected to retire

    Fitzpatrick plans to play football in 2021, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Retirement rumors have been circulating, but Rapoport suggests they aren't accurate. Fitzpatrick, an impending free agent, figures to search outside Miami for a starting job, as his performance in recent seasons has left little doubt he's one of the 32 best quarterbacks in the NFL. However, he's 38 years old and isn't a top-10 QB, so most teams with vacancies at the position figure to view him as a fallback option rather than a priority.

  • Off of COVID-19 list

    The Dolphins activated Fitzpatrick (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Considering the timing of this transaction, Fitzpatrick likely would have been unavailable in the wild-card round if the Dolphins had netted one of three wild-card spots in the AFC part of the postseason bracket. In his age-38 season, he played well when called upon, logging time in nine games and starting seven of them on his way to 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 69 percent passing. He enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but considering his efforts and…read more

  • Lands on COVID list

    The Dolphins placed Fitzpatrick (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday after practicing in full Wednesday, an indication that his positive result came as a surprise for the Dolphins. The team signed Jake Rudock to replace him as the No. 2 option behind Tua Tagovailoa for Sunday's game against the Bills. Cameron Wolfe of ESPN notes that Fitzpatrick could be in jeopardy of missing Miami's first playoff game should the team earn a postseason berth, due to the timetable required for him to garner full clearance.

  • Won't be available Sunday

    Fitzpatrick tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Bills, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Assuming the Dolphins confirm Fitzpatrick's positive test result, he'll be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Miami will add Jake Rudock to its 53-man roster to serve as Tua Tagovailoa's backup Week 17.

  • Not at practice Thursday

    Fitzpatrick (undisclosed) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear why Fitzpatrick missed practice Thursday, but the QB practiced Wednesday, so Wolfe indicates that it doesn't appear to be injury-related. If he's available for Sunday's game against the Bills, Fitzpatrick -- who finished up Miami's Week 16 win over the Raiders -- is slated to back up Tua Tagovailoa.

  • Relieves Tua, leads miraculous win

    Fitzpatrick entered Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders in the fourth quarter, completing nine of 13 pass attempts for 182 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick took over for a timid Tua Tagovailoa (17-of-22 for just 94 yards) midway through the fourth quarter, and the veteran immediately displayed his signature tendency to push the ball downfield. His first drive led the Dolphins to a field goal, while his second resulted in a touchdown courtesy of a 59-yard sideline catch by Myles Gaskin. Dolphins fans will most remember Fitzpatrick's third and final drive of the night, however. The savvy veteran got the ball back with just 19 seconds…read more

  • Likely returning to backup role

    Fitzpatrick is likely to serve as Miami's backup quarterback Sunday against the Bengals with Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) expected to start, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out Miami's Week 12 win over the Jets with an injured left thumb, Tagovailoa practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday before taking a questionable designation into the weekend. As Rapoport notes, Tagovailoa still handled most of the reps with the first-team offense this week despite his limitations, so barring any setbacks in warmups, the rookie will be back under center Sunday. Fitzpatrick was serviceable in place of Tagovailoa last week, completing 24 of 39…read more

  • Tosses two scores in easy win

    Fitzpatrick completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 257 yards and two touchdowns during the Dolphins' 20-3 win over the Jets. He also had three carries for 10 yards and fumbled once.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick started Sunday's game in place of Tua Tagovailoa (thumb), and he didn't have to do too much in order to earn a divisional win over the lifeless Jets. The aged veteran reprised his 2019 form by showcasing a lethal connection with DeVante Parker, whom he targeted 14 times, connecting on eight of those occasions for 119 yards. In the red zone, Fitzpatrick instead opted to look toward the Dolphins' tight ends, connecting with both Mike Gesicki and Adam Shaheen for scores. Armando…read more

  • Likely set to start

    Fitzpatrick is in line to start Sunday against the Jets after Tua Tagovailoa (left thumb) was downgraded to doubtful, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tagovailoa's damaged throwing thumb will likely set the stage for Fitzpatrick to return to the starting lineup against the team he last played as the starting quarterback for the Dolphins. While the contest got out of hand by the end of the first half, Fitzpatrick did throw for three touchdowns, although he also tied for a three-start low in terms of passing yards (191) thanks to the massive score differential. Considering the matchup, the veteran quarterback is certainly a worthy streaming…read more

  • Needed in relief Sunday

    Fitzpatrick replaced Tua Tagovailoa for the final two drives of Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos, completing 12 of 18 passes for 117 yards and an interception.

    Analysis: The Dolphins' offensive line had trouble protecting Tagovailoa, who got sacked six times before being removed, but Fitzpatrick committed Miami's only turnover of the afternoon after leading the team to a field goal on his first possession. Per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, coach Brian Flores has no plans to switch back to Fitzpatrick as his starter, and the veteran will remain the No. 2 QB in Week 12 against the Jets.

  • Jumped on depth chart

    Fitzpatrick has been replaced by Tua Tagovailoa as the Dolphins' starting quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick has fared reasonably well this season, throwing for 300 yards in three games, tossing multiple touchdowns four times and throwing multiple picks on three occasions. Overall, his line is fair enough -- 70.5 percent passing, 1,535 yards and 10 touchdowns versus seven interceptions through six contests -- but after Tagovailoa got on the field in garbage time this past Sunday against the Jets, Miami will move forward with the fifth overall pick of the 2020 draft under center.

  • Fires three TDs against former club

    Fitzpatrick completed 18 of 27 passes for 191 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The veteran QB lit up one of his many former clubs in the first half, throwing all three of his TDs before the break, but neither offense could get much going in the second half -- the two squads combined for eight punts in the final two quarters. Fitzpatrick has a 10:7 TD:INT in six starts heading into the Dolphins' Week 7 bye, and he's likely played well enough to delay having to hand the No. 1 job over to rookie Tua Tagovailoa anytime soon.

    Fitzpatrick completed 22 of 28 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns while gaining 16 yards on three carries during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick came through with one of the most efficient performances of his career as he averaged 12.5 yards per attempt en route to a new season high in passing yardage. He threw touchdown passes to three different receivers and avoided turning the ball over after throwing a pair of interceptions in last week's loss to Seattle. Fitzpatrick has now topped 300 passing yards in three of five games this season and has multiple touchdown passes with no interceptions in three games as well. He…read more

  • Sticking as starter for Week 5

    Fitzpatrick will remain the Dolphins' starting quarterback Sunday at San Francisco, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: On Monday, coach Brian Flores induced rumblings about a QB change when he wouldn't commit to Fitzpatrick as the starter for Week 5. One day later, though, the Dolphins have decided to stick with the veteran for the time being. While he's completed a career-best 69 percent of his passes, he's averaging 248.5 passing yards per game and has four touchdowns versus five interceptions, leading the team to a 1-3 record. Fitzpatrick seems to be a placeholder at the position until Flores believes 2020…read more

  • Starting position in question

    Coach Brian Flores said Monday that he hasn't decided on a starting quarterback for Week 5, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Flores said he "would assume" Fitzpatrick starts in San Francisco on Sunday, per Beasley, but that the team will have further discussions Monday. While Fitzpatrick played clean in Week 3's win over Jacksonville and has kept games relatively close against tough competition, the Dolphins have emerged with just one win at the quarter point of the regular season. The pressure to see whether rookie first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa can spark the offense appears to be mounting, though Joe Schad of The…read more

  • Manages 300-yard effort in loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 29 of 45 passes for 315 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-23 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 47 yards and a score and threw a two-point conversion pass.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick's final line looked good from a fantasy perspective, save for his two interceptions. However, the veteran quarterback's two picks came in the second half, with the second particularly critical because it occurred with 4:27 remaining and Miami trying to overcome a 24-15 deficit. Fitzpatrick also dealt with a temporary absence of lead receiver DeVante Parker (ankle) in the first half, and he continued to demonstrate widespread rapport with his skill-position players by hitting 10…read more

  • Highly efficient in Week 3 win

    Fitzpatrick completed 18 of 20 passes for 160 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-13 win over the Jaguars on Thursday. He also rushed seven times for 38 yards and another score and logged one reception for no gain.

    Analysis: In the team's Week 2 loss to the Bills, Fitzpatrick went a long way toward resembling the quarterback who knows coordinator Chan Gailey's offense well from having run it with ample success in both Buffalo and New York. Thursday, game script didn't call for Fitzpatrick to be anywhere near as active through the air, but the efficiency he demonstrated was that of a quarterback completely comfortable within a system. The veteran connected on his first 12 passes, a career best, and finished with a…read more

    Fitzpatrick completed 31 of 47 passes for 328 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-28 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 12 yards and threw a two-point conversion pass.

    Analysis: It wasn't pretty at times, but Fitzpatrick overcome a relatively slow start to keep the Dolphins in the contest until an unsuccessful onside kick with 49 seconds remaining. The veteran particularly hit his stride in the fourth quarter, leading Miami to a pair of scoring marches that went for a combined 19 plays and 119 yards. The latter drive culminated in Fitzpatrick's second and final touchdown of the day, an eight-yard strike to Mike Gesicki that he followed up with a two-point conversion to…read more

    Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Fitzpatrick will start against the Bills in Week 2, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick is coming off an ugly three-interception season debut against the Patriots, but he'll get another chance to right the ship Week 2. With rookie first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa waiting in the wings, however, Fitzpatrick could end up with his back against the wall if he's unable to quickly turn things around. Additionally, Fizpatrick may be forced to operate without top receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) against Buffalo's stingy secondary.

    Fitzpatrick completed 20 of 30 passes for 190 yards and three interceptions in Sunday's 21-11 loss to New England. He added 18 rushing yards on five carries and ran in a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Ryan was more Fitztragic than Fitzmagic in the first half, throwing for just 115 yards and a pair of interceptions to take a 7-3 deficit into the locker room. Things didn't get any better after the break, though Fitzpatrick managed to bring his team within three points early in the fourth quarter. He orchestrated an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive, which was capped by a one-yard Jordan Howard run followed by a Fitzpatrick two-point conversion. While the veteran is currently viewed as the…read more

  • Confirmed as starter

    As expected, Fitzpatrick will begin the season as Miami's starting quarterback, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This outcome isn't surprising, but it's notable that first-round draft pick Tua Tagovailoa was deemed healthy enough to serve as the team's No. 2 signal-caller, prompting a parting of ways with Josh Rosen. For now, the Dolphins figure to proceed gradually with Tagovailoa, who's bouncing back from a major hip injury he suffered last November, especially with this year's abridged offseason in mind. Meanwhile, fellow QB Jake Rudock is on Miami's practice squad. The 37-year-old Fitzpatrick thus…read more

    Fitzpatrick missed Saturday's practice for personal reasons, with coach Brian Flores saying he isn't sure if the quarterback will return to the team in time for a Sept. 13 season opener against the Patriots, ESPN.com's Cameron Wolfe reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick's mother passed away Saturday morning, so he'll likely be with his family for at least the next few days. He's been working as the Dolphins' top quarterback throughout training camp, with multiple reports suggesting he'll be the Week 1 starter. Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Rosen will be the options under center if Fitzpatrick isn't back with the team in time for the season opener.

  • Could face competition from Tua

    Coach Brian Flores suggested Fitzpatrick may need to compete in training camp with rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has completed his rehab from hip surgery, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: When asked about his QB situation, Flores opted for typical coach speak, saying there will be competition at every position. An abbreviated offseason combined with no preseason will make it tough for Tagovailoa to make his case for the Week 1 job, but there's no question his smooth return to health impacts Fitzpatrick's playing time expectations for the upcoming season. The No. 5 overall pick likely will make starts at some point this year, putting Fitzpatrick on the hot seat even if he locks…read more

    Fitzpatrick is facing competition after the Dolphins used the No. 5 overall draft pick on fellow quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip).

    Analysis: It isn't clear if Fitzpatrick will need to battle for the Week 1 starting job, but even if he's handed the honor, it's unlikely that a top-five draft pick would spend an entire season on the bench. While the rookie's medical record adds an interesting element to that equation, recent reports suggest Tagovailoa made a smooth recovery from November hip surgery. The Dolphins finished Day 1 of the draft without adding any pass-catching talent, but they did pick up USC offensive tackle Austin…read more

  • Plans to stay with Miami

    Fitzpatrick intends to play for the Dolphins in 2020, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick seems to be on the same page as general manager Chris Grier, who said last week that he hopes the 37-year-old quarterback will stay in Miami for another season. Fitzpatrick is entering the second season of a two-year, $13.5 million contract, boasting a strong argument to ask for a pay raise. The Dolphins presumably will try to acquire a young QB, but that doesn't necessarily mean Fitzpatrick will need to battle for the Week 1 starting job.

  • Expected back in Miami

    GM Chris Grier expects Fitzpatrick to play for the Dolphins in 2020, the second season of a two-year, $13.5 million contract, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. "We fully expect Ryan to be back and playing," Grier said. "He did a great job in the locker room, his leadership and just his enthusiasm."

    Analysis: The contract had a base value of $11 million, with an extra $2.5 million added to the 2020 base salary after Fitzpatrick played more than 75 percent of offensive snaps in 2019. The Dolphins will be happy to pay the escalator, and they might even consider tacking on some more money if it helps convince the 37-year-old to play another season, something he wasn't willing to commit to after Week 17. At the same time, the team needs to find a young quarterback to build around, preferably sooner than…read more

  • Puts fitting cap on unlikely season

    Fitzpatrick completed 28 of 41 passes for 320 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 27-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 15 yards and another score and fumbled once but recovered.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick saved his best of a highly improbable season for last, authoring his fourth 300-yard effort of the last seven games and one of the more unlikely regular-season upsets in recent memory in the process. Fitzpatrick capped off the game with a 13-play, 75-yard march that culminated in a five-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, which proved to be the game-winning score. Fitzpatrick undeniably injected life into the Dolphins' offense since reclaiming the starting job in Week 7, and he…read more

  • Undecided on future

    Fitzpatrick said Friday that he hasn't yet made any decision on his playing future and intends to "go through the process and figure things out" during the offseason, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick said that he feels "great" physically and still loves playing, a hint that he could be leaning toward continuing his career. The 37-year-old has had a more than solid inaugural season in Miami and remains under contract through 2020, so the team would have reasonable incentive to keep the signal-caller in the building unless he opts to retire. The Dolphins are candidates to invest a high draft pick into a rookie quarterback this spring, and they also have second-year signal-caller…read more

  • Tallies four TDs in wild OT win

    Fitzpatrick completed 31 of 52 passes for 419 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 38-35 overtime win against the Bengals on Sunday. He also rushed five times for nine yards.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick continued his late-season tear with a spectacular showing against one of the most vulnerable defenses in the league, hitting DeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki (twice) and Christian Wilkins on a tackle-eligible play for his touchdowns. Fitzpatrick then led a game-winning march in overtime, one in which he had a pair of key completions to Isaiah Ford to get Miami into field-goal range. Fitzpatrick has now eclipsed the 300-yard mark in three of his last six games, and his 19 touchdown…read more

  • Takes over team rushing lead

    Fitzpatrick completed 23 of 41 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants. He added four carries for 33 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick heated up in the second quarter, capping a string of seven consecutive completions with a 20-yard touchdown to DeVante Parker to open the scoring. He cooled right back down after that, however, failing to notch another touchdown until he found Parker again for a 29-yard score with less than two minutes remaining in the game. The veteran quarterback also remarkably took over as Miami's leading rusher for the season with 219 yards, as he's done his fair share of scrambling while the…read more

  • Will remain starter

    Fitzpatrick will continue to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins' Week 15 road game against the Giants, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Miami's failure to get into the end zone and instead settle for seven field goals ultimately doomed the team in Sunday's one-point loss to the Jets. Fitzpatrick himself completed 21 of 37 passes for 245 yards and one interception, leaving him with a 13:12 TD:INT in 12 appearances this season. He may have an easier time getting back on the TD ledger this coming weekend versus a Giants defense that entered Week 14 having allowed 22 touchdown passes to quarterbacks over 12 contests in 2019.

  • No TDs in one-point loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 37 passes for 245 yards and an interception while adding 65 rushing yards on seven carries in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick moved the offense well but couldn't convert in close, leading to eight field-goal attempts and seven makes for kicker Jason Sanders. Those who started the veteran signal-caller enjoyed a season-high rushing performance from Fitzpatrick, but his TD:INT this season is an unenviable 13:12.

  • Wins third start since Nov. 1

    Fitzpatrick completed 27 of 39 pass attempts for 365 yards, while throwing three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 37-31 win against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: It was shaky in the early going for Fitzpatrick, as he threw an interception to Ronald Darby on Miami's first play from scrimmage and he absorbed two sacks within the Dolphins' first three offensive drives. He settled in with a 43-yard strike to DeVante Parker on Miami's fourth possession and threw two more TDs in the second half after the Dolphins fell into a 28-14 third-quarter deficit. Fitzpatrick has thrown to a 8:4 TD:INT with 272 passing yards per game since Week 9, while leading his team…read more

  • No danger of missing time

    Coach Brian Flores said Wednesday when asked about Fitzpatrick's shoulder injury that the veteran quarterback is "fighting through it in practice and games, so he'll be out there," Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick has been battling shoulder discomfort for three weeks now, but he hasn't missed any time and managed to practice in full Wednesday. The veteran quarterback is again practicing Thursday, and he'll start against the Eagles on Sunday barring any unforeseen setbacks. Fitzpatrick boasts a physical game -- he's rushed 30 times for 119 yards and three touchdowns this season -- and at age 37, getting nicked up may simply be a necessary consequence of that playing style.

  • Three total TDs in loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 39 passes for 214 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 41-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 45 yards and another score and committed one fumble but recovered.

    Analysis: The veteran signal-caller celebrated his 37th birthday with a few highlights that were interspersed with a pair of turnovers against an aggressive Browns defense. Fitzpatrick connected with Mike Gesicki and Allen Hurns for his pair of passing scores, but with Miami down by four touchdowns before it was able to get into the end zone, Fitzpatrick frequently faced plenty of crowded secondaries that were keyed in on defending the pass. Fitzpatrick clearly continues to give the Dolphins a fighting…read more

  • Ready to rock

    Fitzpatrick (shoulder/forearm) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's tilt against the Browns, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick kicked off the week with back-to-back limited practices, but he looks back to full health after participating without restrictions during Friday's session. As expected, the 36-year-old veteran is set to start under center during Sunday's contest against the Browns. Fitzpatrick has gone two straight games without a passing touchdown, and he'll look to break that streak against a top-10 pass defense in Cleveland.

  • Practicing for third straight day

    Fitzpatrick (shoulder/forearm) took part in Friday's practice, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick was limited at practice the last couple days, and he may be Friday as well. However, with him getting in at least some work at all three of the Dolphins' practice sessions this week, it's looking likely he will be able to give it a go Sunday against the Browns.

  • Another limited practice

    Fitzpatrick (shoulder/forearm) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to kick off Week 12. The veteran signal-caller still appears on track to start under center in Cleveland on Sunday, but if he manages to practice without limitations during Friday's final session of the week it would alleviate any concerns. Given that Fitzpatrick's forearm and shoulder injuries are both related to his right throwing arm, his health will be worth keeping a close eye on.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Fitzpatrick was limited in Wednesday's practice due to right shoulder and forearm injuries, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick appears to have gotten nicked up during the Week 11 loss to the Bills. It's certainly positive that the veteran signal-caller wasn't held out of Wednesday's practice entirely, but the fact that both injuries are related to his throwing arm is somewhat concerning. Assuming Fitzpatrick is eventually able to practice fully by the end of the week, he should enter the contest without an injury designation. Second-year quarterback Josh Rosen waits in the wings in the event that…read more

  • Keeps starting job

    Fitzpatrick will make another start Sunday in Cleveland, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick had an unusual stat line in Sunday's 37-20 loss to Buffalo, piling up 45 pass attempts and 323 yards without a touchdown or interception. He's at least been consistently competent since the Dolphins moved him back into the starting role in Week 7, completing 66.1 percent of passes for 6.8 yards per attempt while helping the team pick up a pair of wins. The Cleveland defense ranks No. 5 in passing yards allowed per game (216.8), No. 8 in sacks (30) and No. 17 in yards per attempt…read more

  • Efficient in loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 32 of 45 passes for 323 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick marked season highs in attempts, completions, yards and completion percentage, but the Miami defense stalled too often Sunday, with a whopping seven sacks stymieing drives. The veteran passer has taken 18 sacks over the past four weeks as Miami has struggled to keep teams honest with the running game. Given the team's struggles on the ground, don't be surprised if Fitzpatrick is asked to continue to gun next Sunday despite a matchup against a top-10 pass defense in Cleveland.

  • Will remain starting QB

    Coach Brian Flores termed Fitzpatrick the Dolphins' starting quarterback for the "foreseeable future," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick was forced to the sideline for a spell Sunday at Indianapolis to be checked for a concussion, but his ability to return and lead the Dolphins to a second victory in a row more or less solidified his standing over second-year signal caller Josh Rosen. On the season, Fitzpatrick has completed 62 percent of his passes, averaged a modest 6.6 yards per attempt and posted an 8:8 TD:INT in eight appearances.

  • Does enough to win again

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 169 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in the team's Week 10 victory over the Colts. However, he did add four rushes for 23 yards and a score.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick struggled to produce through the air, averaging just 5.1 yards per attempt. However, he also converted the team's only touchdown of the game on an 11-yard scamper just before halftime. Of note, Fitzpatrick was also briefly held out of the game late in the fourth quarter while being evaluated for a concussion, but he was able to return to the contest, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports. Though it wasn't in particularly convincing fashion, Fitzpatrick has now led the…read more

  • Three-TD quarter produces first W

    Fitzpatrick completed 24 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets. He added two yards on five rushing attempts.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick completed perhaps the easiest touchdown pass of his career from 12 yards out to a wide open Preston Williams in the second quarter. He added two more passing scores before halftime, finding DeVante Parker from 17 yards out and Williams again from five. The veteran quarterback was also brought down in the end zone for a safety in the final minute of the first half, but his play in the second quarter up until that point was enough to earn his team its first win of 2019. Not only was…read more
