Dolphins Prepare Tyler Huntley to Start in Pivotal Playoff-Determining Game
With Tua Tagovailoa limited by a hip injury, Miami focuses on Huntley for Sunday's must-win matchup against the Jets.
- Tua Tagovailoa remains limited in practice due to a lingering hip injury, leaving his Week 18 availability uncertain.
- Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is expected to start, following a strong performance in last week's 20-3 win over Cleveland, where he accounted for two touchdowns and completed 85% of his passes.
- The Dolphins must win against the Jets and rely on a Broncos loss to the Chiefs to secure the AFC's final playoff spot.
- Miami faces additional challenges with injuries to key offensive linemen, including right tackle Kendall Lamm, who was placed on injured reserve, and left tackle Terron Armstead, whose status remains doubtful.
- The Jets, led by Aaron Rodgers, present a tough opponent despite their disappointing season, with Miami narrowly beating them in overtime last month.
