The Dolphins will turn to Tyler “Snoop” Huntley at quarterback when they face the Titans on Monday night. With backup Skylar Thompson nursing a rib injury suffered last Sunday at Seattle, Huntley and Tim Boyle were the Dolphins’ options for Week 4. Tua Tagovailoa remains out with a concussion.
Coach Mike McDaniel said the decision to go with Huntley came down to the quarterback’s experience and his teammates’ positive response to him since he arrived in Miami. The Dolphins signed him off the Ravens’ practice squad on Sept. 17.
“Snoop has started multiple and many big games,” McDaniel said Saturday. “As a quarterback, just understanding exactly what is required to win over teammates to take the place of somebody else and be able to assert their own personality, their own skill set, their own traits within the offense and lead people.”
