He responded to reports that turnovers could cost Tagovailoa his job with Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers viewed as possible replacements.

Overview

  • Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa will start Sunday against the Bills because he currently gives the Dolphins the best chance to win.
  • He declined to commit to Tagovailoa beyond this week, noting the staff will adjust if a different player offers a better chance to win.
  • Ian Rapoport reported Tagovailoa is playing to keep his job, with Zach Wilson and rookie Quinn Ewers discussed as the next options.
  • Miami is 2-7, and Tagovailoa leads the NFL with 11 interceptions and 12 total turnovers to date.
  • The public vote of confidence came two days after the team parted ways with GM Chris Grier, a change McDaniel called an emotional jolt.
