Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa elicits security

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) hasn’t been examined by the team’s doctors since the scouting combine, but head coach Brian Flores said Thursday, April 23 that the team was very secure in drafting the Alabama product with the fifth-overall pick. Flores added, though, it’s too early to speculate when the rookie might get on the field this coming season.

Footballguys View: Tagovailoa is likely to sit for a bit of time behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. We could see the Dolphins using Fitzpatrick to begin the regular season then Tagovailoa taking over around the midway point. We’ll see this competition unfold in training camp.
