Tua Tagovailoa - Headed for IR The Dolphins plan to place Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve in the coming days, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
Impact Once the transaction is official, Tagovailoa will be ineligible to play in any of the Dolphins' next four games and won't be activated until at least Week 8. Though Tagovailoa reportedly isn't considering retirement after he sustained his fourth documented concussion in the past five years in this past Thursday's loss to the Bills, the Dolphins aren't offering a timeline for his return while he meets with outside neurologists and awaits clearance from all five steps of the NFL's concussion protocol. Skylar Thompson -- who relieved Tagovailoa against the Bills -- is slated to take over as the Dolphins' starting quarterback beginning with this Sunday's game in Seattle.

Skylar Thompson - Slated to start Week 3 Thompson is in line to serve as the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Seattle, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.
Impact According to Jones, the Dolphins are proceeding "day by day" in deciding whether Tua Tagovailoa will require a stint on injured reserve after he was diagnosed with his fourth documented concussion in the past five years following last Thursday's loss to the Bills. At the very least, the Dolphins aren't planning on Tagovailoa being available for the Week 3 game, so Thompson will step in for his first start since 2022. Thompson has made eight regular-season appearances overall through his first three years in the NFL, completing 68 of 119 pass attempts (57.1 percent) for 614 yards (5.2 YPA), one touchdown and three interceptions while adding 25 yards on 15 carries. Given the poor efficiency he's displayed as a passer thus far in his career in addition to the likelihood that the Dolphins deploy a run-heavy game plan Week 3, Thompson looks to be a low-end lineup option in fantasy leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a superflex spot.

Terron Armstead - Day-to-day with shoulder issue Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Armstead is viewed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Armstead exited Thursday night's loss with a shoulder injury, but following McDaniel's comments Monday, it appears 33-year-old offensive lineman could return to the field sooner rather than later. His practice participation will be something to monitor as the week progresses, but if Armstead needs more time to recover, expect Kendall Lamm or Patrick Paul to assume Miami's top left tackle duties.

Dolphins are signing former Ravens QB Tyler Huntley as Tua Tagovailoa remains out with a concussion
The Miami Dolphins are signing backup quarterback Tyler Huntley off the Ravens’ practice squad as Tua Tagovailoa remains out with the third diagnosed concussion of his pro careerSEPTEMBER 16 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tua Tagovailoa - Miami undecided about IR Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the Dolphins don't yet have enough information to decide whether to place Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, Omar Kelly of the Miami H...
Impact McDaniel confirmed that Tagovailoa remains in the concussion protocol and will be meeting with outside specialists, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. While the Dolphins haven't yet officially ruled Tagovailoa out to play Week 3 against the Seahawks, it seems almost assured that Skylar Thompson will start at least that game. The team also brought in Tyler Huntley off Baltimore's practice squad Monday to act as a Week 3 backup option, per Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com. Placing Tagovailoa on IR would rule him out for at least Miami's next four games, and it appears that the team intends to await the results of Tagovailoa's upcoming meetings with neurologists this week before making any decision. In the event that Tagovailoa is cleared to continue his NFL career and decides to do so, it remains to be seen when he will be given the green light to resume taking part in football activities.

Tyler Huntley - Poached by Miami The Dolphins are slated to sign Huntley off the Ravens' practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Huntley joins Miami's active roster with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) working his way through the NFL's protocol for brain injuries, and without a timetable for return. The Dolphins look primed to start Skylar Thompson on the road versus Seattle on Sunday, but once Huntley is up to speed with the new offensive scheme, he could be a candidate to make appearances under center. The 26-year-old spent the offseason in Cleveland before joining Baltimore's practice squad early September.

Tua Tagovailoa - Not looking to retire Tagovailoa has no plans to retire after suffering his fourth documented concussion in five years in Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that he's not putting a timeline on Tagovailoa's return to the field, instead leaving the decision in the hands of the quarterback and his doctors. Though Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Sunday that Tagovailoa is meeting with neurologists this week to get more information about the severity of his latest brain injury and the cumulative effect of the ones he has suffered in the past to make the most informed decision about his future, the quarterback's preference is to continue playing. Tagovailoa's opinion could change depending on the feedback he receives, however, and even if doctors clear him to continue his career, it's uncertain when he might be ready to resume football activities. Skylar Thompson is likely to step in as the Dolphins' quarterback for at least the team's next game Sept. 22 in Seattle.

Tua Tagovailoa - Meeting with neurologists on tap Tagovailoa (concussion) is scheduled to meet with neurologist early this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact After being diagnosed with a concussion following his early exit from Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills, Tagovailoa will seek input from neurologists regarding the severity of his latest brain injury and the cumulative effect of the ones he has suffered in the past to make the most informed decision about his playing future, according to Schefter. The quarterback had previously been diagnosed with two concussions in 2022 and took a third hit to the head that same season that prompted the NFL to alter how concussions are reported and evaluated. Tagovailoa also suffered a concussion during his final collegiate season at Alabama, meaning that he's been diagnosed with four concussions over the past five years. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel didn't comment on Tagovailoa's playing status moving forward, noting that he wants the quarterback to focus on his his health before discussing the possibility of a return. Skylar Thompson is the lone healthy quarterback on Miami's roster and replaced Tagovailoa in Thursday's game, though the Dolphins could explore options outside the organization if Tagovailoa requires a stint on injured reserve.

Jordyn Brooks - Key contributor in loss Brooks recorded six tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.
Impact While the box score doesn't necessarily raise any eyebrows, it's a promising sign for Brooks' IDP projection that he's played as many defensive snaps as any other Dolphins linebacker through Week 2. He's on the fringe of IDP viability in most formats for Week 3 at Seattle.
SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
David Long Jr. - Leads Fins in tackles Thursday Long recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.
Impact The Bills were able to run the ball frequently in a lopsided win, creating a healthy number of opportunities for tackles for Long. He continued to play essentially an every-down role in Week 2, and as long as he retains that role, he figures to carry some IDP value in most formats.
