Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will not play against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters at a news conference Friday that Fitzpatrick had been ruled out. This is the second straight game Fitzpatrick will miss with a calf injury and McDaniel said he considers Fitzpatrick day-to-day for the team’s Week 18 matchup against the Patriots.
