The Dolphins still aren't sure how severe the shoulder injury Huntley suffered in Sunday's loss to the Colts is, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis
Huntley was unable to compete after suffering the injury and finished the contest with 87 yards and a touchdown while completing seven of 13 passing attempts and adding 20 yards on the ground. According to head coach Mike McDaniel, it's too early to determine the severity of the injury and have a timeline for the Utah product's recovery. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) expected to return to practice Wednesday and play Week 8 against the Cardinals, Huntley's injury isn't expected to impact who starts at quarterback for the Dolphins moving forward. However, it'll certainly play a factor in who is operating as Tagovailoa's backup, with Tim Boyle and Skylar Thompson (ribs) also in the mix.
Injury Status

Type: Shoulder

Huntley was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a right shoulder injury.
Analysis
Before sustaining his injury, Huntley completed seven of his 13 passing attempts for 87 yards and a TD and logged five carries for 20 yards. In his absence, Tim Boyle is in at QB for the Dolphins, with Skylar Thompson serving as the team's emergency third quarterback.

Huntley will remain the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Colts, James Trefry of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Huntley will make his third consecutive start for Miami, and he should be more comfortable with the offensive system after using the Week 6 bye to gain a deeper understanding of the playbook. Skylar Thompson (ribs) practiced fully throughout the week and is listed as questionable, but Huntley has been named the starter regardless of Thompson's availability. Tua Tagovailoa is eligible to come off injured reserve Oct. 23, so he could theoretically be in play for a Week 8 return against the Cardinals, though it's unclear if Tagovailoa has made any progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday he would "guess to forecast" that Huntley will start Week 7 against the Colts even if Skylar Thompson (ribs) returns to full health, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Miami managed to scrape to a 15-10 win over the Patriots with Huntley under center Week 5, but he completed just 18 of 31 passes for 194 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Huntley's dual-threat capabilities also weren't much of a factor, as he rushed only three times for seven yards. Still, Huntley has looked like the Dolphins' most capable quarterback option with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) not eligible to come off IR until Week 8. With the benefit of a bye to continue improving his grasp on the offensive system, Huntley will look to command a more productive offense on the road in Indianapolis on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Huntley completed 18 of 31 passes for 194 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for seven yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis
Huntley put together another lackluster performance overall, and unlike in a Monday night loss to the Titans six days earlier, he couldn't complement his passing production with his legs. However, Huntley did look smoother when dropping back, more than doubling the 96 passing yards he'd mustered versus Tennessee and connecting with the trio of Tyreek Hill, Jonnu Smith and Jaylen Waddle on 15 occasions. Given Miami was able to pull off the road win, Huntley figures to retain the starting job for a Week 7 road matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20 following a Week 6 bye, the final game before Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is eligible to come off injured reserve.
Coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Huntley will start for Miami on the road against New England on Sunday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Huntley was mediocre in his Dolphins debut during Monday's 31-12 loss to the Titans, in which he completed 14 of 22 passes for just 96 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also rushed eight times for 40 yards and one score, providing a bit of a spark for Miami's rusty offense. McDaniel said Skylar Thompson (ribs) is taking longer than expected to recover, per Alain Poupart of SI.com, which informed the team's decision to name Huntley the Week 5 starter. A matchup against the Patriots provides Huntley with a solid bounce-back opportunity, given that New England has allowed the fifth-most passing yards in the NFL this season.
Huntley completed 14 of 22 passes for 96 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added eight carries for 40 yards and one score in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night. He also lost a fumble and caused a safety with an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone.
Analysis
Huntley admittedly didn't have much time to familiarize himself with head coach Mike McDaniel's complex offensive scheme, but there's no getting around the fact he averaged a meager 4.4 yards per attempt and struggled mightily as a passer. Huntley did contribute plenty with his signature rushing ability, running in the Dolphins' only touchdown of the night on a one-yard run with 3:36 remaining. Huntley's first-quarter fumble didn't lead to any Titans points but did occur in Tennessee territory, short-circuiting what could have been a point-producing possession for Miami. Huntley should be more acclimated to the scheme and his talented group of skill-position weapons by the time Sunday's divisional road clash against the Patriots kicks off, but it remains to be seen if it will be him or Skylar Thompson (ribs) who draws the start for that game.
Huntley will start Monday against the Titans, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis
Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Saturday that Huntley would start after joining the team from Baltimore's practice squad one week earlier. As a result, Tim Boyle will operate as the team's backup. It's a move that could open the offense after Skylar Thompson struggled mightily in his 2024 starting debut before ultimately leaving with a ribs injury late in the Week 3 loss to the Seahawks.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Huntley is a "possibility" to start Monday's game against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis
The Dolphins signed Huntley off Baltimore's practice squad ahead of the team's Week 3 loss to Seattle, a game in which Skylar Thompson (rib) and Tim Boyle both struggled to get anything going on offense. Huntley has had limited time to integrate himself to Miami's scheme, but the dual-threat abilities he flashed during his time with the Ravens could nonetheless give the Dolphins the best chance to win of their current options at the quarterback position. McDaniel hinted Tuesday that the team may hold an open competition at the quarterback position during practices this week, according to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, though Thompson is considered day-to-day due to the rib injury sustained in the loss to the Seahawks.
