  Thompson (ribs) practiced without limitations all week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Thompson is more likely than not to dress considering he posted three full practices, but he hasn't quite received a firm green light to return from the rib injury he suffered Week 3. Even if Thompson suits up Sunday, he'll be the backup to Tyler Huntley.

  Thompson (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Thompson looks back to full health after a ribs injury kept him inactive for Miami's last two contests, putting him in position to work as the top backup to Tyler Huntley during Sunday's road matchup against the Colts. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains on IR and won't be eligible to practice prior to Oct. 23, and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has already indicated that Huntley will likely keep a grip on the starting gig until Miami's franchise quarterback returns.

  Thompson relayed Saturday that he remains in discomfort due to the rib/chest injury he sustained during Week 3 action, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. "It's been pretty painful," Thompson said Saturday. "Trying to maneuver through it. Not a lot you can do for it. That's what's tough. Doing everything I can to promote the process and heal up. Definitely been discomforting for sure." As Monday night's game against the Titans approaches, Thompson is officially listed as questionable, but the Dolphins have already announced that Tyler Huntley will draw the start, with Tim Boyle slated to back him up. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN, Thompson might be available as the team's emergency quarterback, with added clarity on that front set to arrive once Miami's inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 7:30 ET kickoff.
