Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson is active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson had been a healthy scratch for the first time last week, but his absence was short-lived as he returns to the backup role just one week later. While the former No. 3 pick will start the game on the bench, there's a chance that Wilson could see some playing time if Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle and is benched again. Last week, the starter threw three interceptions against the Browns, and now, he has an even tougher matchup against the Falcons. When Tagovailoa was benched last week, he was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who made his NFL debut along the way. Ewers completed five of eight passes for 53 yards, but he has been demoted. back to the inactives list in Week 8. The Texas product is a healthy scratch, serving as the emergency third quarterback.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers will compete with veteran Zach Wilson for the team's backup QB job, according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. Ewers saw his first game action of his career in Week 7 during garbage time of Miami's 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 22-year-old completed five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards. Ewers was named the backup quarterback over Wilson heading into Week 7, but it seems the two quarterbacks are still battling for the full-time job. It does not appear that either Ewers or Wilson is currently a threat to take the starting job from Tua Tagovailoa. However, that may change if the 1-6 Dolphins continue to struggle.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He was in the midst of an all-time poor outing, having completed 12 of 23 passes for 100 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions, including a pick-six. He also took two sacks and rushed for six yards. Tagovailoa was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who is active for the first time this season. Miami made the decision ahead of Week 7 to name Ewers the backup quarterback over Zach Wilson. The Texas product will be tasked with limiting the damage in the final minutes of the blowout loss to Cleveland. All eyes will be on Miami with Mike McDaniel's seat hotter than ever, and a potential quarterback change on the radar ahead of Week 8.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers had a big second half in the team's second preseason game on Saturday, throwing for 116 yards and two touchdowns by completing 11 of his 17 pass attempts. He entered the game trailing 14-7 but led two touchdown drives and led the team to a 24-17 victory over the Dolphins. Both of Ewers' touchdown passes went to fellow rookie Theo Wease Jr. as both players look to establish their positions on the roster. The rookie quarterback from Texas was a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after throwing for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions in 36 games over three seasons with the Longhorns. Ewers is currently competing with Zach Wilson for the team's backup role behind Tua Tagovailoa, and both potential backups had strong showings against Detroit. Wilson played ahead of Ewers on Saturday, but Ewers stepped up with a much better showing than he had in his preseason debut against the Bears.

The Miami Dolphins have officially signed former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers to his four-year rookie contract, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Ewers notably slid to the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft after some analysts projected him to be selected as early as the third or fourth round. After redshirting at Ohio State in 2021, Ewers threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions in 36 games over three seasons with the Longhorns. He led the program to two consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal appearances. Now in Miami, he'll have the opportunity to compete with former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson for the QB2 role behind Tua Tagovailoa. Given Tagovailoa's injury history as of late, one of his backups could be called into action during the 2025 campaign. Wilson should be viewed as the front-runner to win that job.
