Dolphins Restructure QB Room Amid Tagovailoa Concerns

The Miami Dolphins have restructured their quarterback lineup, acquiring former Jets quarterback Zach Wilson as the primary backup and drafting Quinn Ewers from Texas in the seventh round. Starter Tua Tagovailoa, who played all 17 games for the first time in 2023, has praised Ewers for his rapid development and adaptability during training camp. Coaches and teammates have also noted Ewers' leadership and daily improvement despite his inconsistent college career and lower draft selection. Both Wilson and Ewers are being prepared to step in due to concerns over Tagovailoa's injury history. Tagovailoa's recently signed large contract has prompted speculation about Miami's long-term plans, particularly if his performance or durability becomes an issue. The Dolphins’ quarterback strategy underscores their playoff ambitions and recognition of uncertainty at the position.
