MORE PRO FOOTBALL It’s not Tua time yet in Miami

-

MIAMI — Ryan Fitzpatric­k will remain the Miami Dolphins’ starting quarterbac­k for at least another week, further delaying the NFL debut of Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins announced Tuesday on Twitter that Fitzpatric­k will get the nod Sunday at San Francisco. The disclosure ended speculatio­n coach Brian Flores was about to turn the offense over to Tagovailoa, drafted with the fifth overall pick as a potential franchise quarterbac­k.

“I’ve been around Fitz for a long time, and I’ve seen him play very, very well,” said Miami offensive coordinato­r Chan Gailey, who was Fitzpatric­k’s head coach in Buffalo. “He is capable of being very good for us.”

The 37-year-old Fitzpatric­k recently described his career as a roller coaster, and that has been the case this season with Miami (1-3).

Colin Kaepernick’s publishing company is putting out a collection of 30 essays over the next four weeks about abolition, policing and prisions. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterbac­k envisioned and curated this collection following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O. J. Howard will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing his right Achilles tendon.

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey and New York Giants receiver Golden Tate are unlikely to be discipline­d by their teams for their postgame fight at SoFi Stadium, judging by comments from both players’ coaches Monday. The NFL still might weigh in with fines after it investigat­es the clash rooted in a family feud between Ramsey and Tate, the uncle of Ramsey’s two children.

The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.

The Green Bay Packers say that any plans to have fans for home games this season are on indefinite hold due to high COVID-19 rates in the area.

The Cincinnati Bengals will be allowed to double their home crowd to 12,000 for the remaining six games at Paul Brown Stadium.
