Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson suffered a chest injury and was ruled out from returning to a Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Thompson, 27, appeared to first suffer the injury when he was sacked by Seahawks linebacker Tyrel Dodson in the third quarter.

While Thompson returned to action on the next drive, he went down on minimal contact from the Seahawks’ Derick Hall and exited the game. At the time of the injury, Thompson had 13 completions on 19 attempts for 107 yards. Dodson’s sack was the fifth of the game for the Seahawks.
Thompson made the third regular season start of his career Sunday after Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in the team’s Week 2 loss against the Buffalo Bills and landed on injured reserve. Thompson spent all of 2023 on Miami’s practice squad.
The next quarterback for the Dolphins is former New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle, who was signed from the practice squad Saturday. Miami also has former Baltimore Ravens passer Tyler Huntley, but he is listed as an emergency third quarterback and is only eligible to play Sunday if Boyle is also injured.
