Dolphins Bench Tua, Start Rookie Ewers
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Miami Dolphins have benching Tua Tagovailoa, their struggling quarterback, in favor of rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers. This decision comes after a disappointing season and a loss that eliminated them from playoff contention. Ewers will make his first NFL start this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The move signals a new direction for the Dolphins, who are looking to evaluate their options at the quarterback position. Tagovailoa, who has faced various injuries, has been leading the league in interceptions despite signing a massive contract extension earlier this year. The team faces a challenging situation with Tagovailoas contract, making trading him difficult. The Dolphins owner, Stephen Ross, now has crucial decisions to make regarding coach McDaniels future and the appointment of a new general manager.
