Thompson has opted to remain in Miami on the practice squad and could serve as the Dolphins' emergency quarterback behind Huntley and Tua Tagovailoa for the final three games of the 2024 regular season.

• Skylar Thompson: Let go by Miami

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The Dolphins waived Thompson on Saturday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Thompson got into two games (including one as a starter) early in the season when Tua Tagovailoa was hurt and completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 187 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding one rush for four yards. However, he suffered an injury to his ribs that cost him time, and Tyler Huntley has since surpassed Thompson as Miami's preferred backup QB. Thompson's departure Saturday made room for wide receiver Grant DuBose (shoulder) to be activated off injured reserve.

  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.

• Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Practicing in full coming off bye

  10/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.
