Injury Updates: Dolphins’ QB Situation Growing More Complicated
Skylar Thompson is nursing a chest injury and remains a question mark for the Dolphins, with head coach Mike McDaniel labeling him as “day to day.” Following a tough game against the Seahawks, the uncertainty surrounding Thompson’s return has sparked numerous inquiries about the team’s quarterback plans. McDaniel hinted at the gravity of the situation, acknowledging that even if Thompson is cleared to play, there are issues that need addressing.
In an intriguing twist, McDaniel mentioned that Tyler Huntley could step in as the starting QB against the Titans. “It’s definitely a possibility,” he stated, hinting at the team’s readiness for a potential change. While McDaniel typically avoids making negative comments about players, his willingness to consider Huntley as a starter suggests a promising shift.
As Tua Tagovailoa aims for a return, having recently been cleared for daily activities, the Dolphins must strategize for their immediate future. Although Huntley may be unfamiliar with the system, his athleticism, experience, and potential outshine that of Thompson and Tim Boyle combined.
With two weeks of practice under his belt, Huntley could provide the spark the Dolphins need. His ability to create space in the pocket may open up opportunities for receivers, and fans are eager to see him take the field in primetime. Only time will tell if this scenario unfolds.
