US EditionDolphins Bench Tua Tagovailoa After Loss Against the Steelers
- A league source confirmed on Wednesday, Dec. 17 that rookie Quinn Ewers will start for the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 21 at Hard Rock Stadium against the Cincinnati Bengals, replacing Tua Tagovailoa.
- After Monday's loss, Miami was eliminated from playoff contention as Tua Tagovailoa struggled with four poor sacks, leading coach Mike McDaniel to say `Not good enough` and that 'everything is on the table.'
- This season, Tua Tagovailoa has completed 67.7% of his passes for 2,660 yards and 20 touchdowns while leading the NFL with a career-worst 15 interceptions.
- Ewers now has the opportunity to extend his playing time and potentially finish the year as Miami's starter, adding to franchise upheaval after Chris Grier's departure and prior elevation over Zach Wilson.
- With three games remaining, releasing Tua Tagovailoa would incur a $99.2 million dead cap hit, raising questions about the potential end of the Tua era.
