Summary

After drafting rookie Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall this April, the Miami Dolphins immediately envisioned him as their franchise quarterback of the future.

Now, despite Fitzpatrick’s success, Miami is starting Tua against the LA Rams on Sunday. What’s behind the roster change, and how is the locker room reacting? ESPN Miami reporter Cameron Wolfe explains what’s at stake for the Dolphins at QB, and how the team and fans alike are responding to the prospect of Tua Time in Miami.
