Tyler Huntley has also been placed on injured reserve in recent weeks, contributing to the Dolphins' roster challenges as they navigate injuries to key players.

Tyler Huntley is expected to return from injured reserve in two weeks, which could lead to the Dolphins carrying three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. His return will create competition for the backup quarterback role, currently held by Skylar Thompson. Coach Darrell Bevell indicated that the team will evaluate the situation when Huntley is back, suggesting that the decision on the No. 2 quarterback will depend on how the players perform in practice. If the Dolphins opt to keep only two quarterbacks, it's likely that whoever is cut would be re-signed to the practice squad.

Tyler Huntley is currently on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury sustained in the Week 7 loss against the Colts. He started the final three games while Tagovailoa was on IR for a concussion but will have to sit out at least two more games before the Dolphins can consider designating him for return.

Tyler Huntley was one of the backup quarterbacks the Dolphins used during Tagovailoa's absence, contributing to the team's struggles as they went 1-3 in that span. His presence highlighted the challenges Miami faced without their starting quarterback, as the offense struggled to find rhythm and consistently score points.

Tyler Huntley has struggled to connect with Odell Beckham Jr. during his time as the Dolphins' quarterback, as Beckham has not recorded a catch in his first two games. With Tagovailoa's return, there is hope that Beckham will become more involved in the offense, potentially benefiting from a more effective passing game.
