Dolphins: Huntley Backup, Achane Added After Tua Concussion
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during the team's Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills, prompting the team to make some roster moves in anticipation of his potential absence.
The Dolphins have elevated Skylar Thompson from the practice squad to be the backup quarterback behind Teddy Bridgewater, who will start in Tagovailoa's place.
Thompson was drafted in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft and has yet to appear in a regular season game.
Bridgewater joined the Dolphins this offseason after spending the 2022 season with the Miami Dolphins. He started 14 games for the Dolphins last year, recording a 6-8 record.
The team also added running back Devon Achane to the active roster from the practice squad. Achane, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, can contribute both as a runner and a pass catcher.
Achane adds depth to the Dolphins' backfield following the departure of Jeff Wilson Jr., who joined the New York Giants via trade earlier this week.
The Dolphins will be hoping for a strong performance from Bridgewater and Achane as they look to bounce back from their Week 3 loss to the Bills.
Here's a breakdown of the Dolphins' roster moves:
- Elevated Skylar Thompson from the practice squad.
- Added Devon Achane to the active roster.
- Traded Jeff Wilson Jr. to the New York Giants.
The Dolphins' next game is against the New York Jets on Sunday, October 1st. Stay tuned for more updates on Tua Tagovailoa's status.
