Thompson (ribs) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel declined Wednesday to state whether Thompson will act as the team's backup quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but he noted that Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is expected to miss Week 8. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) practicing on a limited basis and potentially in line to start Sunday, Thompson, Tim Boyle and practice-squad member C.J. Beathard could all be candidates for the No. 2 gig.

Thompson (ribs) is inactive as the Dolphins' inactive emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Colts. Though deemed a full practice participant this past week, Thompson approached the contest listed as questionable. Now that he's been listed as the team's emergency quarterback versus Indianapolis, Tim Boyle is slated to back up Tyler Huntley in the continued absence of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).
Thompson (ribs) practiced without limitations all week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Thompson is more likely than not to dress considering he posted three full practices, but he hasn't quite received a firm green light to return from the rib injury he suffered Week 3. Even if Thompson suits up Sunday, he'll be the backup to Tyler Huntley.
Thompson (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Thompson looks back to full health after a ribs injury kept him inactive for Miami's last two contests, putting him in position to work as the top backup to Tyler Huntley during Sunday's road matchup against the Colts. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains on IR and won't be eligible to practice prior to Oct. 23, and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has already indicated that Huntley will likely keep a grip on the starting gig until Miami's franchise quarterback returns.
Thompson (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game at New England. The Dolphins included Thompson among its inactives for a second consecutive contest, and he'll again be serving as the emergency third quarterback behind starter Tyler Huntley and No. 2 Tim Boyle, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Thompson has been tending to a rib injury for two weeks running, but it remains to be seen if he'll be in consideration to start or even be the team's backup signal-caller once he's healthy while Tua Tagovailoa remains on IR due to a concussion.
Thompson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Thompson sat out Week 4 against the Titans after getting hurt in his Week 3 start against the Seahawks, but he has a chance to gain clearance for Week 5 after three consecutive limited practices. Even if Thompson's cleared to return, he would be the backup to Tyler Huntley, who will make a second consecutive start.
Thompson (ribs) was limited at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. After logging three straight limited practices ahead of Week 4 action, Thompson was the Dolphins' inactive emergency third QB for this past Monday night's game against the Titans. It remains to be seen if that remains the case this weekend against the Patriots, but either way Tyler Huntley is slated to remain the Dolphins starting QB for now, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Thompson (ribs) is the Dolphins' inactive emergency third QB for Monday night's game against the Titans. After logging three straight limited practices ahead of Monday's contest, Thompson -- who was forced out of Week 3 action with a rib issue -- was listed as questionable. With Thompson deemed Miami's emergency QB on Monday, Tyler Huntley will draw the start versus Tennessee, with Tim Boyle slated to back him up.
Thompson relayed Saturday that he remains in discomfort due to the rib/chest injury he sustained during Week 3 action, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. "It's been pretty painful," Thompson said Saturday. "Trying to maneuver through it. Not a lot you can do for it. That's what's tough. Doing everything I can to promote the process and heal up. Definitely been discomforting for sure." As Monday night's game against the Titans approaches, Thompson is officially listed as questionable, but the Dolphins have already announced that Tyler Huntley will draw the start, with Tim Boyle slated to back him up. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN, Thompson might be available as the team's emergency quarterback, with added clarity on that front set to arrive once Miami's inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 7:30 ET kickoff.
