Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Tanner McKee

Sunday, October 12, 5:52 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa criticized some of his teammates and the team's leadership following a 29-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. The defeat dropped Miami to 1-5 on the season. When asked about Miami's slow start, Tagovailoa said that "it starts with the leadership" before proceeding to express his frustration that several players have been showing up late to (or completely missing) players-only meetings. Time is running out for the Dolphins to turn things around, and the quarterback's comments indicate some possible areas of focus for the team to address going forward. All the while, speculation about head coach Mike McDaniel's job security continues to run rampant. Miami's one victory of the season came against the winless Jets in Week 4. The Dolphins will look to get right against a struggling Cleveland Browns team in Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) was not spotted at practice on Sunday, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP. McKee fractured his thumb earlier this month and has not practiced in roughly two weeks. The 25-year-old was solid while filling in last year, as he completed 30 of his 45 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With Thursday's regular-season opener fast approaching, it appears unlikely that McKee will be healthy enough to suit up. If he's inactive, Sam Howell would operate as the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.
