Mike McDaniel remains mum on Week 4 Dolphins starting QB

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is still undecided on the Week 4 starting QB.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has remained tight-lipped about who will start at quarterback for the team’s Week 4 matchup, offering additional insights during Thursday’s press conference. McDaniel hinted that while he has a strong idea of who will lead the offense, he is holding off on making an official announcement.

“The quarterbacks who will be participating [in Thursday’s practice] will get action and great opportunity,” McDaniel said, signaling that practice performance will play a key role in his decision.

Skylar Thompson’s status remains uncertain after suffering a rib injury during the Dolphins’ Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Thompson is unlikely to fully participate in Thursday’s practice, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday. Addressing the situation earlier in the week, McDaniel stated, “It’s a little premature [to name a starter] for multiple reasons. One of those reasons is competitive, and the other is the status of a couple of the options for the position.”

Tyler Huntley, signed by the Dolphins last week, is another candidate to start. McDaniel expressed confidence in Huntley’s ability to fill the role if needed. “He’s been gaining the confidence of his teammates,” McDaniel remarked, implying that Huntley is becoming a serious option should Thompson be unavailable
