Tyler Huntley

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said the team is preparing to start Tyler Huntley in Week 18 against the Jets.

Tua Tagovailoa will be limited in Wednesday’s practice, so he isn’t entirely ruled out for Week 18. However, without being prepped as the starter, he is unlikely to play on Sunday. Huntley survived with a dink and dunk approach plus some rushing output in Miami’s Week 17 win over the Browns. He threw for 225 yards and a touchdown while running for another 52 yards and a score. Expect a similar game-plan versus the Jets. The Dolphins need a win and a Denver loss to make the playoffs.
