Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Skylar Thompson

Wednesday, August 14, 9:34 AM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (ribs) is expected to miss time with a rib injury, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Browning filled in admirably for Joe Burrow when the latter missed a large chunk of last season with a wrist injury, prompting the team to re-sign him as their backup quarterback. Veteran Logan Woodside and undrafted free agent Rocky Lombardi will be the quarterbacks under center when the Bengals travel to Chicago for their second preseason game.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson completed 19-of-27 passes for 190 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the team's Saturday night 24-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mike White started the game for Miami and racked up just 39 yards on 5-of-9 completions. On his drives, the Dolphins went three-and-out once and failed to convert two fourth downs. Thompson entered the game in the second quarter and immediately drove the team down the field for a score -- connecting with tight end Hayden Rucci three times, including the 20-yard touchdown. He then engineered another scoring drive in the third, hitting wide receiver Kyric McGowan for a 1-yard touchdown. That would be the final time the Dolphins scored. It was an efficient night for Thompson as he makes his case to climb the depth chart and be the primary backup to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The next time we see Miami suit up for action will be their home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks from Sunday.
