The Miami Dolphins Make a Move Amid Tua Tagovailoa’s Injury
Welcome to Miami Gardens, Florida, where the Miami Dolphins are making headlines with a significant roster move. The Dolphins have signed backup quarterback Tyler Huntley off the Ravens’ practice squad as their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains sidelined with a concussion.
Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the signing on Monday, adding that Huntley will provide depth behind current No. 2 quarterback Skylar Thompson. With Tagovailoa still in the NFL’s concussion protocol after a recent game against Buffalo, there is uncertainty around his return to play, with discussions ongoing about whether he will be placed on injured reserve.
Huntley, affectionately known as “Snoop,” brings valuable experience to the Dolphins after a stint with the Ravens where he showcased his talent as a viable starter. Despite going undrafted in 2020, Huntley has proven himself on the field, stepping in for Lamar Jackson and earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2022.
McDaniel expressed confidence in Thompson’s ability to lead the team, emphasizing his growth and development since his rookie year. Thompson, who started several games in 2022 in place of Tagovailoa, has shown command and maturity in his play, despite facing challenges in recent games.
As the Dolphins prepare for their upcoming game against Seattle, the addition of Huntley provides a reassuring option for the team, enhancing their quarterback depth and resilience in the face of adversity. The Dolphins remain focused on supporting Tagovailoa in his recovery journey, prioritizing his health and well-being above all else.
