MIAMI — The Dolphins will start Skylar Thompson at quarterback for the Sunday game against the New York Jets, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday.<\/p>\n
A 2022 seventh-round pick, Thompson has taken first-team reps at practice throughout the week as Teddy Bridgewater rehabs a dislocated pinky finger on his throwing hand and Tua Tagovailoa remains in concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
McDaniel said the team remains optimistic Bridgewater will be active Sunday in a backup capacity after gradually beginning to throw the football late in the week. Bridgewater initially could not throw after injuring his finger in last week’s loss to the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
