Quarterback Skylar Thompson will be the starter for the Miami Dolphins as Tua Tagovailoa deals with his latest concussion, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday. The Dolphins plan to bring in another quarterback for depth following the injury sustained by Tagovailoa during their 31-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night. There are only two QBs on the current 53-man roster and none on the practice squad. "The team and the organization are very confident in Skylar," McDaniel said. Tagovailoa exited in the third quarter after a collision with Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin. Thompson entered and completed 8 of 14 passes for 80 yards with no touchdowns, no interceptions and one sack.
