Skylar Thompson Intercepted Twice Saturday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson completed 15 of 24 passes for 135 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions during Saturday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also tallied 18 rushing yards. Ultimately, Thompson finishes the preseason with a 59.7 percent completion rate, three touchdowns, and four picks. He should make the 53-man roster, but it remains to be seen whether he or Mike White (concussion) will occupy the No. 2 role behind Tua Tagovailoa.

Skylar Thompson Delivers Three Passing Touchdowns Saturday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson completed 15 of 22 passes for 157 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Saturday's preseason win over the Houston Texans. He also fell victim to a strip sack but was able to pounce on the loose football, recording his own fumble recovery. All in all, it was a solid day for Thompson as he competes with Mike White for the backup role. His performance was aided by a dominant rushing attack, which totaled 205 rushing yards, moved the ball down the field, and created additional opportunities for the passing game. Thompson is nearly a lock to make the 53-man roster as more teams opt to carry three quarterbacks, but whether he's actually active on gamedays remains to be seen.
