Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 33

According to Matt McMullen, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been added to the injury report with a hamstring injury.

Reports state that Tyreek Hill suffered the injury while catching a long pass from Chad Henne in a 1-on-1 drill during Thursday’s practice. He was able to walk off the field on his own power, but did not return to the practice field. The severity is not yet known, making this a situation to monitor for those who have yet to draft. Our number four overall wide receiver for the 2020 season, if healthy, Tyreek Hill should have a monster season in store for his fantasy managers.

It’s clear veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to be the team’s Week 1 starter as the Dolphins take the patient approach with Tua Tagovailoa.

The good news for Tagovailoa owners is he looked healthy and was moving around freely without any restrictions. There was a lot of anticipation surrounding his workload leading up to the first padded practice, which also happened to be the first session open to the media, the story said. A lot of Tagovailoa’s work during full-team drills consisted of handoffs, and he only threw two passes — both short completions. The Dolphins are taking a slow approach with Tagovailoa.

Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores told reporters on Wednesday that rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared to practice and will avoid the NFI list.

Flores also mentioned that he considers the starting quarterback position an open competition. This is promising news for Tagovailoa, who suffered a devastating hip injury during his final collegiate season. Ryan Fitzpatrick is fully expected to open the year as the starter in Miami, but the head coach's latest comments at least open the door to the possibility of Tagovailoa winning that spot during training camp. Even if Fitzpatrick starts Week 1, it would be a surprise if we did not see Tagovailoa under center at some point this season.

According to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to see starts in his rookie season.

Originally expected to redshirt his rookie season, there is now reason to be optimistic about actually seeing Tua Tagovailoa take the field in 2020. He seems to be progressing well in his recovery, and is clearly a more exciting and talented option than veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick. The future of the franchise, getting Tua’s feet wet at some point in his rookie season would likely be in the Miami Dolphins' best interest. Over the last 10 seasons, only one first-round quarterback has failed to make a start as a rookie (Jake Locker), and 21 of 30 have made at least 10 starts. His potential for rookie season starts makes the talented quarterback a very interesting late-round streaming option in deeper redraft leagues.
