The Miami Dolphins are sticking with Tyler Huntley at quarterback for now, despite the team’s offensive struggles in Week 4, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Tuesday.
“The injury that [Skylar Thompson] sustained has been kind of labor-some getting back, so we’re planning on going with Tyler [Huntley],” McDaniel said. “After reviewing the tape, there’s reasons for guys to be excited about that. While the outcome wasn’t nearly what we wanted offensively, there were some things to build upon that we’ll keep working through and we’re excited to do that tomorrow.”
The Dolphins are scheduled to face the New England Patriots in Week 5.
Huntley, 26, finished his Dolphins debut with 14 completions on 22 attempts for 96 yards. He also added 40 rushing yards and a late 1-yard touchdown run.
The Dolphins offense finished with 184 yards against the Tennessee Titans, the team’s worst offensive output since Tua Tagovailoa’s first career start in 2020.
Miami is currently without starter Tua Tagovailoa until at least Week 8 due to a concussion he suffered in a Week 2 loss. The Dolphins turned to Thompson in Week 3, but he struggled in the start before exiting with a rib injury. Miami also has Tim Boyle, who completed seven passes for 79 yards after relieving Thompson.
