Dolphins | Ryan Fitzpatrick: I’m a placeholder

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick says he fully realizes his time as the team’s starter is limited with first-round draft pick Tua Tagovailoa getting a green light for workouts. ‘I don’t know how much time it will be before Tua will be in the lineup. I know that I am the placeholder,’ Fitzpatrick said in a recent interview with ESPN. ‘We’ve already had that conversation. I’ve told him, ‘I’m going to do the best I can to lead this team and win football games when I’m out there.’ Whenever it is that Tua gets his chance whether it’s early or late or whenever, I’m going to be his biggest cheerleader.’
