Hawaii-born NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been in the headlines all week. After making his NFL debut off the bench last weekend, the Miami Dolphins star will be making his full debut in the coming weeks.

However, head coach Brian Flores is not too pleased with how the news made it to the media before he could even talk to his own players. Flores added that he will have a word with his players, especially first-choice QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, and clear out the issue.

While talking about veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, Flores said “Fitz has done a great job. He’s been productive. His leadership has been great. It’s not an easy decision.”
