Impact As has been the case on multiple occasions this season, Thompson was called upon with both Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) dealing with injuries. As the final score indicates, the rookie seventh-round pick didn't exactly help the Dolphins light up the scoreboard, and he was mainly relegated to short passes, averaging a meager 4.9 yards per attempt. However, Thompson stayed away from turnovers and was able to help position Miami for what would prove to be a game-winning 50-yard field goal by Jason Sanders, a drive that included a key nine-yard completion to Jaylen Waddle. With a wild-card road matchup now on tap against the Bills next weekend, it remains to be seen if Thompson will be called on yet again to helm the Dolphins' offense in what would be an unenviable matchup.

Will start Sunday Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Thompson will start Sunday's game against the Jets, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Louis-Jacques, the Dolphins hope that Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) will be available in a backup role Sunday after making "unbelievable" progress in his recovery from a dislocated finger this week, but with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) still out, Thompson is on track to make his second start of the season. Despite the rookie seventh-round pick's limited track record at the NFL level, he represents a lineup option for fantasy managers in a week in which various teams could be limiting or holding out their regular signal-callers as the postseason approaches. Miami needs both a win and a New England loss to earn a playoff spot.

Gets first-team reps Thompson took the first-team reps at practice Wednesday with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) both unavailable, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Thompson entered Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots in relief of Bridgewater, who dislocated his right pinky finger and still wasn't able to properly throw a football as of Wednesday. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he hasn't even thought about playing Tagovailoa in Week 18, suggesting Thompson and Bridgewater are the likely options under center this Sunday against the Jets, per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site. Miami needs a win over the Jets plus a Bills win over the Patriots to grab the last wild-card spot in the AFC.

Patriots' defense is team's best offense, beating up on more bad quarterbacks in win over Dolphins - The Boston Globe The Patriots had a pick-6 against Teddy Bridgewater, who was injured on the play, and Skylar Thompson was overmatched.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM
Relief effort comes up short Thompson completed 12 of 21pass attempts for 104 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots. He also had one four-yard carry.
Impact Thompson took over for Teddy Bridgewater (finger) in the third quarter of Sunday's narrow divisional loss, with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) inactive to enter the game. The rookie seventh-round pick brought Miami's deficit within two points via a fourth quarter touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, and he moved the Dolphins' offense roughly as effectively as Bridgewater had, but ultimately couldn't overcome New England's stout defense. The Dolphins were short handed entering Sunday's game, with Tagovailoa, Terron Armstead (toe/pectoral), Xavien Howard (knee) and Bradley Chubb (ankle/hand) all unavailable, and will attempt to get healthier for Week 18's matchup against the Jets.
