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 career. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the move first reported by NFL Network, saying that Huntley is being added for depth behind current No. 2 quarterback Skylar Thompson.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyler Huntley takes the snap against the Minnesota Vikings during the second half of an NFL preseason football game, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Cleveland. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel talks to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as he leaves the game after suffering a concussion during the second half of an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills, Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Huntley was one of numerous veteran quarterbacks who were available for the Dolphins to consider in the wake of Tagovailoa’s head injury.Bryce Young benched by Panthers after QB’s rough start; Andy Dalton will start vs. RaidersTagovailoa was hurt on a play where he collided with Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin. He ran for a first down and then initiated the contact by lowering his shoulder into Hamlin instead of sliding.
The coach did not want to speculate on what the latest head injury means for Tagovailoa’s future — he was diagnosed with two concussions in 2022 and one during college at Alabama — and McDaniel has repeatedly said he wants to stay out of any decisions Tagovailoa makes about his career“As far as Tua’s career is concerned, I think it’s an utmost priority of mine for Tua to speak on Tua’s career,” McDaniel said. “Reports are reports.
Huntley went undrafted in 2020 before signing with the Ravens. The South Florida native stepped in for an injured Lamar Jackson in 2021 and 2022 and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2022. He went 3-7 in 10 starts with the Ravens, has 1,957 career passing yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions and a 64.6 completion rate.
