Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has expressed confidence in Skylar Thompson as the next man up at quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa currently in concussion protocol. Thompson is expected to start in Week 3 against the Seahawks if Tagovailoa is unable to clear the protocol. In a recent game against the Bills, Thompson completed 8 of 14 passes for 80 yards and rushed once for four yards. He has shown promise throughout the preseason, outperforming Mike White to secure the backup quarterback position.

• Skylar Thompson is set to start if Tua Tagovailoa cannot play.
• Thompson has shown potential during the preseason and in limited regular-season action.
