Dolphins' Darren Waller unlikely to play Sunday at Falcons Dolphins TE Darren Waller might not play vs. Atlanta; the backup QB situation is up from grabs this week between Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson...
Zach Wilson - Fighting for No. 2 QB spot Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Wilson will compete with rookie Quinn Ewers this week for Miami's No. 2 quarterback position, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post r...
Impact Wilson served as the Dolphins' top reserve quarterback in each of the team's first six games but was demoted ahead of the Week 7 loss to the Browns. Ewers entered Sunday's contest in the fourth quarter, completing five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards and fumbling twice on just 12 offensive snaps. Wilson will now have the opportunity to compete for that No. 2 QB spot again after throwing for 6,325 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions over 35 career games.

Quinn Ewers - Competing for No. 2 QB Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Ewers will compete with Zach Wilson this week for the Dolphins' backup quarterback position, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post re...
Impact The rookie from Texas had served as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback in each of the team's first six games but was promoted to the backup role in Week 7. Ewers entered Sunday's loss in the fourth quarter, completing five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards. However, his ball-security issues likely contributed to McDaniel's decision to open a competition for the No. 2 QB position, as Ewers fumbled twice on just 12 offensive snaps, though neither were recovered by the defense.

Tua Tagovailoa - Remains starter for Week 8 Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Tagovailoa will start on the road versus Atlanta on Sunday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Impact Tagovailoa was benched late in the fourth quarter of Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns in Week 7, a matchup that saw the fifth-year pro succumb to adverse conditions and throw three interceptions with zero touchdowns and only 130 passing yards. He had previously also thrown three interceptions in the Dolphins' loss to the Chargers in Week 6. Rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers didn't fare much better than Tagovailoa, as he nearly threw an INT on his first snap, fumbled two plays later, and ended the game with five completions for 53 yards on eight pass attempts. Now sitting at a 1-6 record, McDaniel and Tagovialoa may both be at risk of losing their positions if this team can't right the ship versus the Falcons, a task that will be all the more difficult with tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) looking unlikely to be available.
