TYLER HUNTLEY NEWS

Will get most practice reps Week 18 Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Huntley will get more practice reps than Tua Tagovailoa (hip) this week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though Tagovailoa hasn't been ruled out for Week 18, McDaniel said the team is in a "gray area" regarding the star quarterback due to his hip injury, per Jackson. With Huntley slated to get most of the reps in practice this week, it appears he has a better chance than Tagovailoa of starting against the Jets on Sunday in a game the Dolphins must win in order to have any chance of making the postseason. Huntley led the team to a victory Sunday versus the Browns, performing well with 225 passing yards and a touchdown while completing 22 of 26 pass attempts and adding 52 yards and another score on the ground.

Performs well in spot-start Huntley completed 22 of 26 pass attempts for 225 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 52 yards and another score on seven attempts in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Browns.

Impact Huntley got the nod under center in place of Tua Tagovailoa (hip) and provided DFS players and deep-league managers with a strong fantasy total in Week 17. The long-time Baltimore backup stepped up to the occasion at a crucial point of the season for the Dolphins in order to keep the team's playoff hopes alive. Tagovailoa's status for Week 18 is still uncertain, but the team will obviously start its top option should he be available for next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa out as Miami tries to keep playoff hopes alive against Browns

The Miami Dolphins will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Starting in place of Tagovailoa With Tua Tagovailoa (hip) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Sunday's game against the Browns, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact As a result of Tagovailoa (who had been listed as doubtful) being unable to helm Miami's offense Sunday, Huntley will be making his fourth start of the season. In that fill-in role, Huntley offers a lineup option for fantasy managers in superflex formats or who are otherwise in need of Week 17 QB help. However, given the rate of production that he put up while previously subbing for Tagovailoa (377 passing yards with a TD and an interception/16 carries for 67 yards and a rushing score in three games), expectations should be tempered for Huntley, as well as Miami's Week 17 pass catchers, a group led by WR Tyreek Hill and TE Jonnu Smith.

Dolphins downgrade QB Tua Tagovailoa to doubtful with hip injury ahead of Sunday's game vs Browns

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns due to a hip injury

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Could start, with Tagovailoa doubtful With Tua Tagovailoa (hip) downgraded to doubtful, Huntley could start Sunday's game against the Browns, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

Impact Tagovailoa's Saturday downgrade from questionable to doubtful has him trending toward not being able to start Sunday. If that's the case, Huntley would be in line to start at quarterback for the Dolphins, with Skylar Thompson serving as the team's primary backup. With that in mind, Huntley represents a possible Week 17 lineup replacement for those who roster Tagovailoa or Anthony Richardson (back/foot) of the Colts, who was downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Moves up depth chart Huntley will serve as the Dolphins' No. 2 quarterback against the Jets on Sunday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Impact Huntley served as Miami's starting quarterback when Tua Tagovailoa missed time due to a concussion earlier this season. However, the Utah product suffered a shoulder injury in his final start that led to an IR stint and Skylar Thompson gaining the backup role. Despite being healthy for a Thanksgiving Day matchup, Huntley was inactive and Thompson stayed in the backup spot, but the two will flip roles in Week 14.

Emergency QB against Packers Huntley (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Dolphins' emergency quarterback against the Packers on Thursday.

Impact Huntley was activated off injured reserve earlier Thursday after missing the Dolphins' last five games due to a right shoulder injury. He will only see the field if Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson were both to be injured during Thursday's game.

Activated off IR The Dolphins activated Huntley (shoulder) off injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Huntley injured his right shoulder during the Dolphins' Week 7 loss to the Colts, and he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 25. It's unclear whether Huntley or Skylar Thompson will serve as Miami's backup quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa for Thursday's game against the Packers.

Lands on IR The Dolphins have placed Huntley (right shoulder) on IR.

Impact Huntley's placement on IR occurs on the same day that top QB Tua Tagovailoa cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, and as a result of the transaction Huntley won't be available before Week 12. In his absence, Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and practice squad member C.J. Beathard are in the mix to back up Tagovailoa, who is in line to be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Misses Wednesday's practice Huntley (right shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact When asked about Huntley's availability as Sunday's game against the Cardinals approaches, head coach Mike McDaniel noted "I don't think (Huntley) is going to be available this week." While Huntley's Week 8 status is cloudy, Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returned to a limited practice Wednesday and is trending toward a return to the starting lineup this weekend. If that happens and Huntley is unavailable, Miami's backup options versus Arizona would be Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and C.J. Beathard.

Recovery timeline still unknown The Dolphins still aren't sure how severe the shoulder injury Huntley suffered in Sunday's loss to the Colts is, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Huntley was unable to compete after suffering the injury and finished the contest with 87 yards through the air and a touchdown while completing seven of 13 passing attempts and adding 20 yards on the ground. According to head coach Mike McDaniel, it's too early to determine the severity of the injury and have a timeline for the Utah product's recovery. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) expected to return to practice Wednesday and play Week 8 against the Cardinals, Huntley's injury isn't expected to impact who starts at quarterback for the Dolphins moving forward. However, it'll certainly play a factor in who is operating as Tagovailoa's backup, with Tim Boyle and Skylar Thompson (ribs) also in the mix.
