The Miami Dolphins activated quarterback Tyler Huntley off the injured reserve Thursday and made room for him on the roster by sending Tyus Bowser down for an IR stint.
Huntley, 26, joined the Dolphins earlier this season while Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined with a concussion. The former Baltimore Ravens quarterback made three starts, completing 59.1 percent of his passes with 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
In a Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Huntley suffered a shoulder injury that landed him on IR.
With Tagovailoa back in the fold, the Dolphins don’t plan on seeing Huntley back on the field anytime soon. It also seems unlikely that the team will keep three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster for long.
“Ultimately, it’s important to have three guys over a long stretch of time,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said earlier this month. “But in the short term, we’ll adjust by the needs of the team for sure.”
Stashing either Huntley or Skylar Thompson on the practice squad may prove to be a logical move for the Dolphins.
Bowser, 29, was signed by the Dolphins in October off the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad. In nine games with Miami, he has 10 tackles and zero sacks.
