Skylar Thompson is ready to lead the Miami Dolphins as Tua Tagovailoa recovers from a concussion
Skylar Thompson understands the pressure that falls on him as the starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins for the foreseeable futureSEPTEMBER 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
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.

Impact McDaniel said Miami is "very confident" in Thompson, who appears slated to start Week 3 against the Seahawks on Sept. 22 if Tagovailoa is unable to clear concussion protocol, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Thompson entered Thursday night's 31-10 divisional loss to the Buffalo with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter, completing eight of 14 passes for 80 yards without a touchdowns or interception. He also rushed once for four yards, operating an offense without top wideouts Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle, who were both pulled from the matchup early. During the preseason Thompson beat out Mike White for the Dolphins' backup gig by virtue of completing 35 of 61 passes for 379 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions across three exhibition contests.

Serviceable in emergency duty Thompson entered Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Bills for an injured Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) with 4:10 remaining in the third quarter and completed eight of 14 passes for 8...
Impact Thompson fired incomplete and took a sack on his first two dropbacks, but he was able to start getting into somewhat of a rhythm on his next possession. Nevertheless, the game essentially out of reach by early in the final period, and Thompson subsequently led an offense that was without Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle due to the two being pulled early from the lopsided loss. Thompson had some moments of success as a starter in Tagovailoa's stead back in 2022, and he'll be called on to start for the latter in a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sept. 22 if Tua is unable to clear concussion protocol.

Beats out White for backup QB job Thompson has secured the backup quarterback job behind Tua Tagovailoa after the Dolphins released Mike White on Sunday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Thompson operated as the Dolphins' emergency quarterback for all of 2023 while White was the backup behind Tagovailoa. It was an open competition for the No. 2 job between Thompson and White during the offseason and training camp, and the former won the battle by completing 35 of 61 passes for three touchdowns and two interceptions across three preseason games. Thompson was selected by the Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and he appeared in seven regular-season games in his rookie year, completing 57.1 percent of his passes for 534 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Emergency QB for wild-card game Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's playoff game against Kansas City, and he will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback for the contest.
Impact Thompson hasn't seen any game action this year, so it's not surprising that he's inactive for the opening round of the postseason. Mike White is serving as the backup to Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins in the wild-card contest.

Inactive for SNF Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback against Buffalo on Sunday.
Impact Thompson hasn't yet been active this season but will be available as the Dolphins' third quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White if necessary Sunday. However, Sunday's primetime matchup will decide the AFC East champion, so Tagovailoa is unlikely to exit the game outside of an injury or disqualification.

Thompson won't be able to enter Monday night's contest unless both Tagovailoa and White are unable to continue due to injury or disqualification.
