Skylar Thompson - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Will start Sunday Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Thompson will start Sunday's game against the Jets, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Louis-Jacques, the Dolphins hope that Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) will be available in a backup role Sunday after making "unbelievable" progress in his recovery from a dislocated finger this week, but with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) still out, Thompson is on track to make his second start of the season. Despite the rookie seventh-round pick's limited track record at the NFL level, he represents a lineup option for fantasy managers in a week in which various teams could be limiting or holding out their regular signal-callers as the postseason approaches. Miami needs both a win and a New England loss to earn a playoff spot.

Gets first-team reps Thompson took the first-team reps at practice Wednesday with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) both unavailable, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thompson entered Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots in relief of Bridgewater, who dislocated his right pinky finger and still wasn't able to properly throw a football as of Wednesday. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he hasn't even thought about playing Tagovailoa in Week 18, suggesting Thompson and Bridgewater are the likely options under center this Sunday against the Jets, per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site. Miami needs a win over the Jets plus a Bills win over the Patriots to grab the last wild-card spot in the AFC.

Patriots' defense is team's best offense, beating up on more bad quarterbacks in win over Dolphins - The Boston Globe The Patriots had a pick-6 against Teddy Bridgewater, who was injured on the play, and Skylar Thompson was overmatched.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Relief effort comes up short Thompson completed 12 of 21pass attempts for 104 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots. He also had one four-yard carry.

Impact Thompson took over for Teddy Bridgewater (finger) in the third quarter of Sunday's narrow divisional loss, with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) inactive to enter the game. The rookie seventh-round pick brought Miami's deficit within two points via a fourth quarter touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, and he moved the Dolphins' offense roughly as effectively as Bridgewater had, but ultimately couldn't overcome New England's stout defense. The Dolphins were short handed entering Sunday's game, with Tagovailoa, Terron Armstead (toe/pectoral), Xavien Howard (knee) and Bradley Chubb (ankle/hand) all unavailable, and will attempt to get healthier for Week 18's matchup against the Jets.

Dolphins Sunday Morning Updates Rookie Skylar Thompson looks like he’ll be serving as the backup to Tua Tagovailoa against Cleveland

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Won't dress Sunday Thompson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Thompson is considered a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup in Detroit, after he recently overcame a thumb injury he suffered in Week 6 versus the Vikings. While Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater remain healthy, the rookie will likely continue watching from the sidelines.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

No injury designation Thompson doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Thompson was upgraded to a full participant Friday after logging back-to-back limited sessions to open the week due to a thumb injury. The backup quarterback doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday, but with Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater both healthy, Thompson is unlikely to see the field in Week 8.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Thompson (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Impact Thompson was limited by a right thumb injury during practice this week and won't be able to suit up in primetime Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa will return to the field while Teddy Bridgewater serves as his backup.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Steelers Thompson (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Thompson sustained a right thumb injury during last week's loss to the Vikings and was limited in practice all week. Even if he's available against the Steelers, the rookie seventh-rounder is unlikely to see the field since both Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater will be active.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Thompson (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on the Dolphins' practice report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact While making his first NFL start, Thompson sustained a right thumb injury during the first half of Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Though the extent of the injury is still unclear, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that tests on Thompson's thumb were "more positive than negative," and that the quarterback will return "sooner rather than later," according to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. The third-string signal-caller will have two more practices to increase his activity in practice before this Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, though his potential absence shouldn't have much of an affect now that Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) and Teddy Bridgewater are both expected to be available Week 7. If that's the case, Thompson could find himself on the inactive list Sunday against the Steelers even if he enters the weekend without a designation.

Impact Thompson was forced to exit and did not return during the first start of his career Sunday. While McDaniel did not provide specifics on the severity of this injury, it's unlikely to affect the seventh-round rookie's playing time, as quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater are both expected to be available again after clearing concussion protocols Saturday. Thompson completed 26 of his 46 passes for 255 yards and an interception over the past two games for Miami, and he will now fall back into a role as the third-string quarterback.
