His backup, Teddy Bridgewater, is dealing with a knee and finger injury and if he is active on Sunday, he will remain the backup. So that leaves Skylar Thompson as the Dolphins starting quarterback. The seventh round rookie got the start last week against the New York Jets and while he didn’t put up huge stats, he didn’t turn the ball over. Which is what the Dolphins are going to need from him again if they have any hope of winning on Sunday.

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.


Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for the Miami Dolphins game against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. His backup, Teddy Bridgewater, is dealing with a knee and finger injury and if he is active on Sunday, he will remain the backup. So that leaves Skylar Thompson as the Dolphins starting quarterback. The seventh round rookie got the start last week against the New York Jets and while he didn’t put up huge stats, he didn’t turn the ball over. Which is what the Dolphins are going to need from him again if they have any hope of winning on Sunday. It’s a tough task but anything can happen on any given Sunday.
