Since former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was selected No. 5 overall by the Miami Dolphins in the 2020 NFL draft, questions have been raised over where he will sit on the depth chart to open the season.
Some believed he would sit out the entire 2020 season, as the Dolphins look to ensure he’s healthy, as his injury history seemed to be cause for concern to some NFL front offices. Others think there’s a strong chance Tagovailoa will become the starting quarterback at some point in his rookie season, potentially a chance to be the season-opening starter.
Well, answers have been given.
ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter reported earlier today that the Miami Dolphins will kickoff the season with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick as the signal caller, and Tagovailoa will sit under him on the depth chart.
This news comes just days after the franchise released 2018 first-round pick Josh Rosen, who never seemed to find his groove with the team.
Tagovailoa may open the season on the sidelines, but the growing expectations point to him being the start at some point after in the season.
