The Miami Dolphins aren't looking to bring in an external starting quarterback while Tua Tagovailoa is sidelined with a concussion.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday that Skylar Thompson is the "next man up" under center. Thompson entered Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills when Tagovailoa exited with the third confirmed concussion of his career.

McDaniel explained the team has discussed potentially bringing in more quarterback depth but believes in Thompson's ability to keep the offense afloat without the starter.
