Not since Boston and Los Angeles in 2020 has the sports world's attention and curiosity been so concentrated on one area of America as Florida in 2023. The Boston Red Sox were reigning World Series champions, the New England Patriots were Super Bowl champions, and the Boston Bruins had reached the Stanley Cup Finals by the summer of 2019. The following year was devoted to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers snapped a 32-year championship drought ended and the Lakers claimed their first NBA title in the bubble.

Since losing backup Teddy Bridgewater to free agency, the Dolphins still have Skylar Thompson on the roster.

Since being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2018, White has played in eight games in total, throwing for 2,145 yards against 12 interceptions.

Tua Tagovailoa is OUT for Dolphins' playoff game against the Bills due to concussion

Tua Tagovailoa, the Miami Dolphins' quarterback, was disqualified from the team's Wildcard Round playoff game in Buffalo on Sunday because of the concussion protocol. Two other injured quarterbacks are likely to miss a crucial playoff game as backup Teddy Bridgewater continues to recover from the dislocated finger injury he suffered in Week 17 and third-string signal caller Skylar Thompson is fighting a twisted leg. Despite McDaniel's statements that if he would not hesitate to use Bridgewater if necessary, it appears that Thompson will take the snaps against the favorite Bills in Orchard Park, New York, on Sunday.

To advance to the playoffs, the Miami Dolphins will need a victory over the New York Jets, and they will be hoping rookie Skylar Thompson would give them a magical show to get them there. In Sunday's do-or-die game, head coach Mike McDaniel said the 2022 seventh-round pick from Kansas State will get the nod to start at quarterback as their first and second string signal callers recover with injuries. Tua Tagovailoa is also sitting in concussion protocol retroactive to a blow sustained against the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day. For the second week in a row, he was ruled out for the second week in a row.

Due to two ailing quarterbacks, the Miami Dolphins could start with third-stringer Skylar Thompson against the New York Jets on Sunday, and the team has drafted a veteran quarterback in case. Tua Tagovailoa will not play on Sunday, and backup Teddy Bridgewater is unable to throw a football at this time due to a dislocated finger, according to team head coach Mike McDaniel on Wednesday. 'I can't predict Teddy's availability,' McDaniel said, who was running through the possible pecking order in practice, including Glennon. 'We thought this was the right route,' he said.'

After rookie Skylar Thompson's injury in the Vikings' loss, the Miami Dolphins are in a quarterback crisis

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 17, 2022
Mike McDaniel, the Miami Dolphins' head coach, said he would have 'indefinitely stuck' rookie Skylar Thompson vs. the Vikings, but he didn't decide not to because his QB's first QB's didn't have any'strength' holding the ball.' On Sunday afternoon, the 25-year-old seventh-round pick from Kansas State put on a good showing, totaling more than half of his passes (7/13) for 89 yards before being subbed by Teddy Bridgewater in the team's 16-24 loss. It was the Dolphins' third game in a row in which the designated starting quarterback didn't appear in a single game. Tua Tagovailoa, who is set to return for the Steelers game next weekend, sustained a concussion against the Bills in Week 4 long before Bridgewater sustained his head injury in Week 5.

Week 6: Bills-Chiefs Vikings-Dolphins; Ravens-Giants; Cowboys-Eagles; and others

We return for yet another series of professional football games after a weekend full of troubling roughing-the-passer calls and close finishes. In London last week, the Giants and Packers defense stunned the Rams, and both the Ravens and Eagles set game winning field goals to raise their records. This week, we feature both squads, an NFL team in serious quarterback trouble, the new chapter in one of the league's top rivalries, and a Game of the Week that recalls memories of one of the best playoff games in recent history.

Tua Tagovailoa of the Dolphins is back to school for the first time since concussion

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 12, 2022
For the first time since suffering a concussion in a game in Cincinnati on September 29, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has returned to action. Tagovailoa is not expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but his return, both for him and for a team that lost another passer, backup Teddy Bridgewater, to a concussion in Miami's 40-17 loss to the New York Jets, is encouraging news. Skylar Thompson, the third string quarterback, is expected to play against the Vikings. Tagovailoa's return to action has yet to be determined after weeks of controversies surrounding the team's handling of his head injury, the first of which he suffered in an emotional victory over the Buffalo Bills on September 25. In the first half, Tagovailoa took a head blow from Bills linebacker Matt Milano, causing his head to slam off the ground. When he tried to get to his feet, he seemed disoriented and stumbled. After being cleared of any head injury, Tagovailoa was immediately admitted to the locker room and went through the NFL's concussion policy. He began the third quarter with a skepticism from viewers about why he was allowed to return to the game, which he eventually won.
