Huntley will get more practice reps than injured Tagovailoa ahead of Dolphins’ must-win game at Jets

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — There are several unknowns for the Miami Dolphins entering their regular-season finale, beginning with their starting quarterback. Coach Mike McDaniel said the Dolphins are in a “gray area” with Tua Tagovailoa after the quarterback was scratched ahead of Sunday’s win at Cleveland because of a hip injury. Tagovailoa’s body didn’t respond the way the team had hoped with the injury sustained in Week 15 against Houston, McDaniel said, and he doesn’t know about the starter’s availability the rest of the season. “When you dig a hole within the season that you have to get yourself out of, and then you’re faced with the reality that you need to take care of business and you need some help, you learn quickly that any time spent on the help is not benefitting the desired goal.” Tyler “Snoop” Huntley will get more practice reps than Tagovailoa this week, and McDaniel is preparing game plans for both contingencies. “Today’s game showed he can throw the ball on time, he can read defenses and he can also make plays with his feet,” Tyreek Hill said.
