Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Skylar Thompson

Thursday, November 28, 3:57 PM

The Miami Dolphins have activated quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) from injured reserve. Huntley made three starts for Miami earlier this season and, coincidentally, was placed on IR at the same time Tua Tagovailoa was activated following his concussion. Huntley and Skylar Thompson will both remain in depth roles as long as Tagovailoa is healthy.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs) is officially inactive for Monday night's contest at Hard Rock Stadium against the visiting Tennessee Titans and will serve as the team's emergency third QB behind starter Tyler Huntley and backup Tim Boyle. There was some uncertainty as to who would start under center for Miami on Monday night after Thompson injured his ribs in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Boyle replaced Thompson in that game, but the Dolphins have decided to pivot to the recently signed Huntley, who will be making the 10th start of his career since entering the league in 2020. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is on Injured Reserve and is out indefinitely. If Huntley handles himself well and gives the team a chance to win on Monday against the Titans, he could be in play to make a second straight start in Week 5 against the division-rival Patriots, regardless of Thompson's health.
