However, late in the third quarter, Bridgewater appeared to hurt his hand on a play just before he tried to make a tackle on a pick-six that he threw to Patriots safety Kyle Dugger. The team announced that the injury is to his right ring finger, and his return is questionable.

In his place, the Dolphins have turned to rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson to lead the offense. This isn’t Thompson’s first action this season, but he still doesn’t have much experience in regular-season action.
