The Dolphins can still make the AFC playoff field, but need a win over the Jets on Sunday to stay alive in the race. With Tua Tagovailoa still recovering from his second concussion of the season, and Teddy Bridgewater dealing with a dislocated pinkie finger, rookie Skylar Thompson will start the pivotal game, coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday.
Tagovailoa will not be available for the game, but McDaniel expressed optimism that Bridgewater would be available to serve as the backup to Thompson, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
With the injury issues at the quarterback position, Miami also signed veteran Mike Glennon to the practice squad this week.
