Dolphins switching to Rosen at QB

Desperate for help, the Dolphins are turning to Josh Rosen.

The second-year pro will replace Ryan Fitzpatrick this week as the starting quarterback and try to jump-start a team that has been outscored 102-10 in the first two games.

A person familiar with the decision confirmed the change to The AP on condition of anonymity Thursday because the team hadn't announced it.

Rosen can't fix all of the rebuilding Dolphins' many problems, but he's considered a potential franchise quarterback and will make his first start for the team against the Cowboys on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Rosen was traded in April after only one season with the Cardinals, who took him 10th overall in the 2018 draft. The Dolphins are eager to stop a revolving door at the position, and Rosen will be their 21st starter since Dan Marino's last game 20 years ago.

Regardless of how Rosen plays, the Dolphins are expected to use one of their three first-round picks in 2020 on a quarterback.

Fitzpatrick, 36, was never considered a long-term solution and had a passer rating of 39.9 in the first two games. Rosen takes over an offense that netted 38 yards in the first three quarters of Sunday's 43-0 loss to the Patriots as the Dolphins were shut out at home for the first time since 2010.

Rosen came off the bench in the fourth quarter and went 7 for 18 for 97 yards with an interception. He had two long passes dropped.

In another move, the Dolphins claimed defensive end Taco Charlton off waivers from the Cowboys.

Charlton, a first-round pick in 2017, was waived Wednesday after asking for his trade or release.
