Dolphins Elevate Rookie Quinn Ewers to No. 2 QB, Drop Zach Wilson to Third String for Week 7

Miami, 1-5, activates the seventh-rounder for the first time, signaling a look at longer-term options.

Overview

  • Tua Tagovailoa remains the starter against the Browns, with Quinn Ewers active as the backup and Zach Wilson listed as the No. 3 quarterback.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the depth-chart change for Sunday’s game in Cleveland.
  • Ewers, a 2025 seventh-round pick out of Texas, is dressing for the first time after six games as the emergency option.
  • Wilson, on a one-year fully guaranteed $6 million contract with incentives, was a healthy inactive and has gone 5-of-8 for 32 yards this season.
  • The shift comes during a 1-5 start and is widely viewed as an evaluation move, with any talk of trades or broader roster changes characterized as speculation.
