After Skylar Thompson came in for Bridgewater, the team announced that the veteran would not return to the game. CBS’ Melanie Collins reported that Bridgewater passed all concussion tests, but he’s not able to play due to the new protocols put in place after Tagovailoa’s injury against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Thompson will play the remainder of the game, and if he goes down, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. would likely step up as the next quarterback.
