Avoids injury report
Thompson (ribs) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel declined Wednesday to state whether Thompson will act as the team's backup quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but he noted that Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is expected to miss Week 8. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) practicing on a limited basis and potentially in line to start Sunday, Thompson, Tim Boyle and practice-squad member C.J. Beathard could all be candidates for the No. 2 gig.

Emergency third QB Sunday
Thompson (ribs) is inactive as the Dolphins' inactive emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Though deemed a full practice participant this past week, Thompson approached the contest listed as questionable. Now that he's been listed as the team's emergency quarterback versus Indianapolis, Tim Boyle is slated to back up Tyler Huntley in the continued absence of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).

Questionable despite full practices
Thompson (ribs) practiced without limitations all week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Thompson is more likely than not to dress considering he posted three full practices, but he hasn't quite received a firm green light to return from the rib injury he suffered Week 3. Even if Thompson suits up Sunday, he'll be the backup to Tyler Huntley.

Practicing in full coming off bye
Thompson (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Thompson looks back to full health after a ribs injury kept him inactive for Miami's last two contests, putting him in position to work as the top backup to Tyler Huntley during Sunday's road matchup against the Colts. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains on IR and won't be eligible to practice prior to Oct. 23, and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has already indicated that Huntley will likely keep a grip on the starting gig until Miami's franchise quarterback returns.

Inactive Sunday
Thompson (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game at New England.
Analysis: The Dolphins included Thompson among its inactives for a second consecutive contest, and he'll again be serving as the emergency third quarterback behind starter Tyler Huntley and No. 2 Tim Boyle, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Thompson has been tending to a rib injury for two weeks running, but it remains to be seen if he'll be in consideration to start or even be the team's backup signal-caller once he's healthy while Tua Tagovailoa remains on IR due to a concussion.

Could play Week 5 but as backup
Thompson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Thompson sat out Week 4 against the Titans after getting hurt in his Week 3 start against the Seahawks, but he has a chance to gain clearance for Week 5 after three consecutive limited practices. Even if Thompson's cleared to return, he would be the backup to Tyler Huntley, who will make a second consecutive start.

Limited practice Wednesday
Thompson (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: After logging three straight limited practices Week 4, Thompson was the Dolphins' inactive emergency third quarterback for this past Monday's loss to the Titans. Thompson's status for this weekend's game against the Patriots has yet to be determined, but if he's active, he'll be serving in a backup role behind Tyler Huntley. The Dolphins announced Wednesday that Huntley will make a second straight start Sunday, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.

Emergency third QB Monday
Thompson (ribs) is the Dolphins' inactive emergency third QB for Monday night's game against the Titans.
Analysis: After logging three straight limited practices ahead of Monday's contest, Thompson -- who was forced out of Week 3 action with a rib issue -- was listed as questionable. With Thompson deemed Miami's emergency QB on Monday, Tyler Huntley will draw the start versus Tennessee, and Tim Boyle is slated to back him up.

Thompson relayed Saturday that he remains in discomfort due to the rib/chest injury he sustained during Week 3 action, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Won't start Monday
Thompson (ribs) may operate as the third-string quarterback after it was announced Tyler Huntley would start Monday against the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: For what it's worth, this doesn't seem to be a decision made due to Thompson's injury, as the third-year quarterback practiced in limited fashion all week and is listed as questionable for Monday's contest. In the same report, it was also announced Tim Boyle would serve as the team's backup behind Huntley, leaving Thompson to fall to third string after struggling to the tune of 5.6 yards per attempt on 13 completions before leaving early in the third quarter in the Week 3 loss to Seattle due to…read more

Thompson (ribs) remained limited at practice Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Thompson now has one more opportunity to upgrade his practice participation ahead of Monday night's game against the Titans, with Saturday's final injury report destined to add a layer of context regarding his Week 4 availability by revealing his game status.

Looks set for limited practice
Thompson (ribs) will practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he hasn't yet named a starting quarterback for Monday's game against the Titans, and that the rib injury that forced Thompson out of the team's Week 3 loss to the Seahawks could still limit his effectiveness. McDaniel said he's also encouraged by the progress Tyler Huntley has made picking up the offense so far, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, and that both he and Tim Boyle will get opportunities in practice to try and command the offense.

Week 4 status unclear
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Thompson (ribs) is day-to-day heading into the Dolphins' Week 4 game Monday versus the Titans, though the team expects to have a better feel for the quarterback's status later in the week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Called upon to start in the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Seahawks after Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was placed on injured reserve, Thompson completed 13 of 19 pass attempts for 107 yards before exiting in the third quarter after getting shoved by a defender on a throw. The Dolphins have yet to provide a firm diagnosis on Thompson's injury beyond clarifying that he's dealing with a rib issue rather than a chest issue, and the team is not yet ruling out the third-year quarterback for Monday.

Dealing with rib injury
Thompson suffered a rib injury in Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks, per coach Mike McDaniel, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Thompson was originally ruled out of the game with what was termed a chest injury, but the injury was actually to his ribs. McDaniel added that Thompson was trying not to come out of the game but was dealing with significant pain. If Thompson isn't ready to return against the Titans in Week 4, Tim Boyle or Tyler Huntley would get the start under center. Boyle had 79 passing yards against Seattle after Thompson exited early in the second half.

Exits with chest injury
Thompson won't return to Sunday's game in Seattle due to a chest injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Thompson took hits from Seahawks defenders on back-to-back drives to begin the second half, and the second one left him writhing in pain on the field before he needed assistance to get to the locker room. With Thompson out for the rest of Week 3 and Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, Tim Boyle took over the Dolphins offense Sunday, and Tyler Huntley (inactive, coach's decision) is on hand as the emergency third quarterback in the event Boyle also suffers an injury.

Slated to start Week 3
Thompson is in line to serve as the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Seattle, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.
Analysis: According to Jones, the Dolphins are proceeding "day by day" in deciding whether Tua Tagovailoa will require a stint on injured reserve after he was diagnosed with his fourth documented concussion in the past five years. At the very least, the Dolphins aren't planning on Tagovailoa being available for the Week 3 game, so Thompson will step in for his first start since 2022. Thompson has made eight regular-season appearances overall through his first three years in the NFL, completing 68 of 119…read more

Has McDaniel's confidence
Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Thompson is the "next man up" at quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa in the concussion protocol, but that Miami will likely bring in a third-stringer from outside the organization, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Analysis: McDaniel said Miami is "very confident" in Thompson, who appears slated to start Week 3 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22 if Tagovailoa is unable to clear concussion protocol, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Thompson entered Thursday night's 31-10 divisional loss to the Buffalo with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter, completing eight of 14 passes for 80 yards without a touchdowns or interception.

Serviceable in emergency duty
Thompson entered Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Bills for an injured Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) with 4:10 remaining in the third quarter and completed eight of 14 passes for 80 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also rushed once for four yards.
Analysis: Thompson fired incomplete and took a sack on his first two dropbacks, but he was able to start getting into somewhat of a rhythm on his next possession. Nevertheless, the game was essentially out of reach by early in the final period, and Thompson subsequently led an offense that was without Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle due to the two being pulled early from the lopsided loss. Thompson had some moments of success as a starter in Tagovailoa's stead back in 2022, and he'll be called on to fill in…read more

Thompson has secured the backup quarterback job behind Tua Tagovailoa after the Dolphins released Mike White on Sunday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thompson operated as the Dolphins' emergency quarterback for all of 2023 while White was the backup behind Tagovailoa. It was an open competition for the No. 2 job between Thompson and White during the offseason and training camp, and the former won the battle by completing 35 of 61 passes for 379 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions across three preseason games.

Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's playoff game against Kansas City, and he will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback for the contest.
Analysis: Thompson hasn't seen any game action this year, so it's not surprising that he's inactive for the opening round of the postseason. Mike White is serving as the backup to Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins in the wild-card contest.

Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback against Buffalo on Sunday.
Analysis: Thompson hasn't yet been active this season but will be available as the Dolphins' third quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White if necessary Sunday. However, Sunday's primetime matchup will decide the AFC East champion, so Tagovailoa is unlikely to exit the game outside of an injury or disqualification.

Serving as emergency QB in Week 1
Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Chargers and has been designated as the emergency quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White.
Analysis: The Dolphins announced Thompson would begin the season as the No. 3 quarterback earlier in the week, and this makes it official with respect to Week 1. Thompson unexpectedly received plenty of playing time last season as a rookie seventh-round pick, arguably making him one of the more battle-tested No. 3 signal-callers around the NFL despite his brief time in the league. He'll only see action versus Los Angeles if both Tagovailoa and White are sidelined with in-game injuries.

Starting as third-stringer
Thompson will open the season as Miami's No. 3 quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thompson has officially lost the backup competition to Mike White, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick still has a ways to go in his development but did flash intriguing traits as a rookie, so the Dolphins have plenty of reason to continue his development. The league's new rules will allow all of Tagovailoa, White and Thompson to be active on game days, starting with Sunday's regular-season opener against the Chargers.

While Thompson did lead the club to a field goal in the second half for Miami's only points on the night, one of his two INTs was returned for an Atlanta score.

Analysis: Thompson appeared in eight games and made three starts -- including one in the postseason -- in 2022, producing 754 passing yards and two touchdowns while throwing five interceptions. The Dolphins brought in former Jet quarterback Mike White this offseason, signing him to a two-year, $8 million contract in March. Thompson will look to beat White out for the primary backup role behind Tua Tagovailoa.

Thompson completed 18 of 45 passes for 220 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round.

He later rallied with a touchdown pass and a completed two-point conversion prior to halftime, but Thompson was picked off once more during the third quarter. While it wasn't the prettiest performance from Thompson, he commendably helped Miami stay in the game against heavily favored opposition.

Analysis: Thompson does not appear to be dealing with any definitive injuries, though it wouldn't be surprising if he was less than 100 percent healthy after absorbing nine quarterback hits from the Jets' defense.

Thompson completed 20 of 31 passes for 152 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday. He also rushed three times for three yards and recovered a fumble.
Analysis: As has been the case on multiple occasions this season, Thompson was called upon with both Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) dealing with injuries. As the final score indicates, the rookie seventh-round pick didn't exactly help the Dolphins light up the scoreboard, and he was mainly relegated to short passes, averaging a meager 4.9 yards per attempt.

Thompson completed 12 of 21pass attempts for 104 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots. He also had one four-yard carry.
Analysis: Thompson took over for Teddy Bridgewater (finger) in the third quarter of Sunday's narrow divisional loss, with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) inactive to enter the game. The rookie seventh-round pick brought Miami's deficit within two points via a fourth quarter touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, and he moved the Dolphins' offense roughly as effectively as Bridgewater had, but he ultimately couldn't overcome New England's stout defense.

Still on track for start
Thompson remains on track to start Sunday's game against the Vikings with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) ruled out for Week 6 and with Teddy Bridgewater (concussion/pectoral) listed as questionable but likely to be available only in a backup capacity if he's active, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: While Tagovailoa was ruled out ahead of last week's 40-17 loss to the Jets, Bridgewater drew the start but took just one snap before he was placed in the concussion protocol. Thompson was then summoned on short notice to handle quarterback duties for the rest of the game, and the results were predictably disastrous for the seventh-round rookie, who completed just 19 of 33 attempts for 166 yards and an interception while also losing a fumble. The Dolphins are hoping for better results from…read more

Trending toward Week 6 start
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he's planning on having Thompson start at quarterback in the Dolphins' Week 6 game against the Vikings, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Inactive for the first four games of the season, Thompson dressed as the backup for last week's loss to the Jets while Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was ruled out. Fill-in starter Teddy Bridgewater landed in concussion protocol as well after playing just one snap, resulting in Thompson stepping in to play essentially the entire contest. The seventh-round rookie completed just 19 of his 33 attempts for 166 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while losing a fumble in the 40-17 loss, but the…read more

Plays nearly entire Week 5 loss
Thompson replaced the injured Teddy Bridgewater (head) in the first quarter of Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets and completed 19 of 33 passes for 166 yards and one interception. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Despite his modest stat line, Thompson moved Miami's offense effectively until the fourth quarter, leading a pair of touchdown drives while benefiting from a few generous pass interference calls on New York's defense. His second-quarter interception was sandwiched between those touchdown drives, but the rookie seventh-round pick struggled down the stretch, as Miami's final three possessions ended with his fumble followed by a pair of turnovers on downs. If neither Bridgewater nor Tua Tagovailoa…read more

Slated for No. 2 role
Thompson is in line to serve as the No. 2 quarterback Sunday against the Jets since Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been ruled out, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Although Tagovailoa underwent an MRI that came back clean over the weekend, he'll be forced to miss at least one game after he was taken off the field on a stretcher Thursday against Cincinnati. Teddy Bridgewater will serve as the starting quarterback against the Jets, while Thompson is in line to be the team's top backup. The 2022 seventh-rounder hasn't yet made his regular-season debut in the NFL.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens.
Analysis: Thompson will likely need an injury to crack the active roster on gameday. The rookie quarterback is likely to remain firmly behind starter Tua Tagovailoa and backup Teddy Bridgewater this season.
