Tagovailoa was injured last Thursday night in a loss to Buffalo, his third diagnosed concussion in the past two years. The Dolphins have spent the week trying to get Skylar Thompson ready to make his first start since the 2022 season while also answering unknowns about when Tagovailoa — who has been placed on injured reserve — will return.

Skylar Thompson explains why he's better prepared to take charge of the Miami Dolphins (in place of Tua Tagovailoa) than when he was a rookie.

Thompson is no stranger to getting thrown into hostile environments as a backup, and he faces his latest challenge Sunday in Seattle, while Huntley embraces his homecoming as a backup.
