Dolphins quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater remain in the league’s concussion protocol with just two days to go until the team’s Week 6 matchup with the Vikings, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday.
McDaniel did not expand upon Tagovailoa’s status, but did say that if Bridgewater is cleared, he will serve as the backup to rookie Skylar Thompson on Sunday. If the veteran does not clear protocols, Miami will elevate Reid Sinnett from the practice squad to serve as the No. 2 quarterback.
When asked whether there was a reason for Bridgewater moving down the depth chart for the week, McDaniel emphasized that he felt Thompson’s full week of practice gave the team the best chance to compete this weekend.
