The Splash Zone 1/1/21: Ryan Fitzpatrick Tests Positive For Covid-19

Ryan Fitzpatrick will not be able to come in for relief if Tua Tagovailoa struggles against the Buffalo Bills. Fitzpatrick tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the game this Sunday. Jake Ruddock and Reid Sinnett will be the backups and hopefully we don’t have to see either of them under center at any time during this game. The Dolphins must win this next game to ensure they are in the playoffs. Even if they lose there are still a couple of scenarios where they get in.
