It’s officially once again Fitzmagic time.
After being downgraded to doubtful on Saturday, Tua Tagovailoa is inactive against the Jets after injuring his left thumb in practice on Wednesday. With Tagovailoa sidelined, Ryan Fitzpatrick will make his first start since he threw for 191 yards and three touchdowns against the Jets in Week 6.
The Dolphins will also be without Salvon Ahmed, who has started their last two games at running back. Myles Gaskin also remains on injured reserve for another week with a knee injury, making Matt Breida Miami’s starter in Week 12.
It’ll be FitzMagic for Dolphins vs. Jets. Tua Tagovailoa (left thumb) is inactive.
Ryan Fitzpatrick makes his 7th start of the season as rookie Reid Sinnett backs him up in his 1st NFL game.
Dolphins inactives: Tua, Salvon Ahmed, Solomon Kindley, Chandler Cox, Benito Jones.

As for the Jets, they will surprisingly be without Alex Lewis on Sunday afternoon. Lewis was listed as questionable on Friday after being limited in practice for a non-injury reason. With Lewis out, New York will be down two starters on its offensive line, as George Fant is inactive with ankle and knee injuries. Chuma Edoga is also out with an ankle injury, leaving Conor McDermott to start at right tackle. Cameron Clark is active and likely to start in place of Lewis at left guard.
New York’s other inactives are James Morgan and Ross Travis.
