Tyler Huntley has taken over as the backup quarterback for the Dolphins after being signed in mid-September. He has started three games in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa, effectively surpassing Skylar Thompson on the depth chart.

Tyler Huntley, along with Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle, struggled to maintain the Dolphins' offensive performance during Tagovailoa's absence. Their inability to effectively lead the team in his absence highlights the organization's failure to secure a competent backup quarterback, ultimately contributing to the Dolphins' disappointing record.

Tyler Huntley is one of the six Dolphins players designated for return from a reserve list this season, highlighting the team's ongoing efforts to manage injuries and bolster their roster as they approach the latter part of the regular season.

Tyler Huntley has been named the backup quarterback for Tua Tagovailoa, replacing Skylar Thompson after a brief stint. Activated from injured reserve, Huntley’s performance earlier this season was underwhelming, with the Dolphins averaging just 12.3 points in his three starts and a passer rating of 73.9. Despite this, McDaniel expressed confidence in Huntley, indicating a preference for him over Thompson, who struggled significantly in limited play. This shift raises questions about the Dolphins' backup quarterback strategy and their failure to secure a more reliable option in the offseason.

Tyler Huntley was activated off injured reserve and served as the emergency third quarterback for the Dolphins during the game against the Packers.
