### Miami Dolphins Opt to Stick with Current QB Roster Amid Tua Tagovailoa's Injury

Since Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's unfortunate concussion against the Buffalo Bills, the uncertainty surrounding his future has been a hot topic in the NFL world. The ongoing health concerns for Tagovailoa have naturally left fans and analysts alike questioning the team's plan moving forward.

In the sport's nature, trade speculations have arisen, particularly with the Dolphins in a tricky quarterback situation. NFL insider Tom Pelissero addressed these speculations on The Rich Eisen Show, specifically discussing the possibility of Miami seeking a trade. Eisen inquired about potential interest in quarterbacks like Denver's Zach Wilson or Pittsburgh's Russell Wilson.

Pelissero clarified the situation, stating, "At last check, the Dolphins hadn't called either of those teams. If you're thinking Tua Tagovailoa is not going to play for the rest of the season, you would think you would be looking for those long-term answers." He emphasized Tua's intent to return to the field later this season if possible.

This effectively puts to rest any rumor of Miami seeking quarterback trades. Instead, the Dolphins are set to manage with their current roster. However, backup quarterback Skylar Thompson is currently suffering from a rib injury, leaving his availability uncertain. This situation opens the door for third-string quarterback Tim Boyle or newly-signed veteran Tyler Huntley to potentially step in.

Huntley, who has previously filled in for an injured Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens, brings valuable experience. Known for his reliability in a backup role, Huntley might be the key to stabling the Dolphins' offense until Tagovailoa can return.

With these developments, the Dolphins seem prepared to rally behind Huntley and weather the storm until their primary quarterback is back in action. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching how Miami's season unfolds amidst these adjustments.
