So, there’s literally no reason at all to panic. Tua had been playing really well entering the Sunday matchup against Denver, and things just weren’t clicking.
Flores made the decision to turn to the bench and throw Fitzpatrick in the game. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s better to be too cautious right now with Tua than let his confidence get destroyed by keeping him on the field.
