The Miami Dolphins are still waiting for Tua Tagovailoa to get back on the field.
Countless people, including fans, current, and former NFL players have urged the young quarterback to retire after suffering yet another concussion, but he remains even-kneeled in his desire to play.
In the meantime, his team needs some sort of offensive production to stay afloat.
The Dolphins were expected to be one of the best teams in the league this season, but that hasn’t been the case after three weeks of play.
That’s why HC Mike McDaniel has decided to make a change at quarterback.
According to Barry Jackson, the Dolphins will roll with Tyler Huntley for their game vs. the Tennessee Titans.
This comes after watching backup QB Skylar Thompson struggle mightily in his previous start vs. the Seattle Seahawks, so it’s not much of a surprise.
Huntley was signed off the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad.
While he doesn’t have a lot of experience, he’s already started games before, and he gives the Dolphins’ offense a dual-threat skill set that Thompson doesn’t possess.
Huntley is mobile and has a knack for making plays with his legs, and this might be as good as it gets when it comes to auditioning for a larger role with the team.
Even if Tagovailoa is still determined to come back, there’s no timetable for his return, so Huntley could be looking at multiple starts if he fares well vs. the struggling Titans.
