With Tua Tagovailoa out with a concussion, who will start at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans? View the Dolphins QB depth chart below.
Who Will Start A QB For Dolphins In Week 4?
Will Boyle or Huntley start next Monday? McDaniel not ready to say, and doesn't rule out Thompson: "Skylar progresses, that leaves variables more vague. We have an important 48 hours to see where he's at and get in front of rest of QB room. talk to coaches and players and get…

After Tagovailoa exited Week 2’s loss to the Buffalo Bills with a head injury, backup quarterback Skylar Thompson got the start in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Thompson finished the game completing 13 of 19 passes for 107 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions in Miami’s 24-3 loss. None of Thompson’s nine drives lasted longer than five plays.
To make matters worse, Thompson exited the game early with a rib injury.
Tim Boyle replaced Thompson, finishing 7 of 13 for 79 yards.
The three points were the lowest scored by the Dolphins since McDaniel was hired in 2022.
Will the Dolphins make a quarterback change? McDaniel is not ruling it out, though he’s waiting to see if Thompson’s day-to-day injury improves.
“As Skylar progresses, I think that leaves variables more vague. I think we have an important 48 hours to see where he’s at and then get in front of the rest of the quarterbacks room,” McDaniel said via ESPN. “I think you have to open up your mind to a plethora of different solutions, considering your current answers, as objectively as you can evaluate, haven’t been the right ones.”
Keep An Eye On Tyler Huntley
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said it also was “a possibility, for sure” that Tyler Huntley would be Miami’s starting QB on Monday night vs. the Titans. https://t.co/bMCTJu5RqC

One name to keep an eye on is Tyler Huntley, who the Dolphins signed off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad last week.
Huntley began the week as the Dolphins third-string quarterback. If Thompson misses time, Huntley will move up the depth chart and even have the chance to start over Boyle.
Huntley has spent most of his five-year career as the Ravens backup quarterback to Lamar Jackson. When Jackson was injured in 2022, Huntley became the starter, going 2-2 down the stretch and helping the team reach the playoffs.
In the Wild Card game, Huntley completed 17 of 29 passes for 226 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Baltimore’s 27-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
