Coach Mike McDaniel said Fitzpatrick's (calf) injury should be filed in the week-to-week category, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Fitzpatrick exited Monday night's contest with a calf issue in the fourth quarter. After more tests on the issue, Fitzpatrick may be able to return for more regular-season football. The Dolphins have been eliminated from playoff contention. Still, with a chance to play spoiler for the Patriots' AFC East title hopes, Fitzpatrick could be back in action for Week 18, or maybe even sooner for Week 17 against the Buccaneers.
