NY Jets: Tua Tagovailoa doubtful for Sunday, Ryan Fitzpatrick expected to start

NY Jets (ALLEN EYESTONE / THE PALM BEACH POST)

The NY Jets likely won’t be playing Dolphins’ quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this Sunday.

The NY Jets are set to return home this week to take on their division rivals, the Miami Dolphins, for the second time this season. But they’ll likely do so against Miami’s backup quarterback.

Ryan Fitzpatrick looks to be in-line to make his second start of the season against the Jets following a midweek injury suffered by rookie Tua Tagovailoa.

Tagovailoa injured his left thumb during Wednesday’s practice when he jammed it on a teammate’s helmet.
