The Miami Dolphins might not have their top two quarterbacks for Sunday’s Week 18 battle against the New York Jets.
Tua Tagovailoa is already going to be out with a concussion and there’s a chance backup Teddy Bridgewater will join him with a dislocated finger.
According to head coach Mike McDaniel, Bridgewater can’t even throw a football right now so he’s unsure whether he can go on Sunday.
If both are out, that means third-stringer Skylar Thompson would be in line to start. He would get to start the Dolphins’ biggest game of the season since a playoff spot is on the line.
Thompson has appeared in six games this season and has completed 54% of his passes for 382 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.
The Dolphins can clinch a playoff spot with a win, plus a loss by the New England Patriots against the Buffalo Bills. If they lose, that could open the door for the Pittsburgh Steelers to get that final spot.
Kickoff for Jets-Dolphins will be at 1 p.m. ET.
