Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley fell awkwardly on his shoulder in the third quarter of a Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts and exited to the locker room.
Prior to the injury, Huntley completed seven of his 13 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. He also added 20 rushing yards.
Tyler Huntley injury update
The Dolphins initially ruled Huntley questionable to return from the injury and he was replaced in the lineup by Tim Boyle on the following drive. After FOX sideline reporter Laura Okmin said he was undergoing tests on his throwing shoulder, the Dolphins eventually ruled Huntley out for the remainder of the game.
How long will Tyler Huntley be out?
Huntley was ruled out from returning Sunday against the Colts, and it may be the last Miami fans see the backup in action. The Dolphins expect to have starter Tua Tagovailoa back in Week 8 and may be inclined to have Skylar Thompson slide up to No. 2 on the depth chart.
Dolphins QB depth chart
The Dolphins had to dig into the quarterback depth this season when Tagovailoa went to injured reserve due to a concussion suffered in Week 2. While he’s expected to be back next week, the Dolphins turned to Thompson in Week 3 and Huntley in Week 4.
Thompson is listed as an emergency third quarterback and will only be eligible to play Sunday if Boyle also suffers an injury.
