Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Beats out White for backup QB job
Thompson has secured the backup quarterback job behind Tua Tagovailoa after the Dolphins released Mike White on Sunday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Thompson operated as the Dolphins' emergency quarterback for all of 2023 while White was the backup behind Tagovailoa. It was an open competition for the No. 2 job between Thompson and White during the offseason and training camp, and the former won the battle by completing 35 of 61 passes for 379 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions across three preseason games. Thompson was selected by the Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and he appeared in seven regular-season games in his rookie year, completing 57.1 percent of his passes for 534 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Emergency QB for wild-card game
Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's playoff game against Kansas City, and he will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback for the contest.
Thompson hasn't seen any game action this year, so it's not surprising that he's inactive for the opening round of the postseason. Mike White is serving as the backup to Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins in the wild-card contest.

Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Inactive for SNF
Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback against Buffalo on Sunday.
Thompson hasn't yet been active this season but will be available as the Dolphins' third quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White if necessary Sunday. However, Sunday's primetime matchup will decide the AFC East champion, so Tagovailoa is unlikely to exit the game outside of an injury or disqualification.

Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Serving as emergency QB in Week 1
Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Chargers and has been designated as the emergency quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White.
The Dolphins announced Thompson would begin the season as the No. 3 quarterback earlier in the week, and this makes it official with respect to Week 1. Thompson unexpectedly received plenty of playing time last season as a rookie seventh-round pick, arguably making him one of the more battle-tested No. 3 signal-callers around the NFL despite his brief time in the league. He'll only see action versus Los Angeles if both Tagovailoa and White are sidelined with in-game injuries.

Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Starting as third-stringer
Thompson will open the season as Miami's No. 3 quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Thompson has officially lost the backup competition to Mike White, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick still has a ways to go in his development but did flash intriguing traits as a rookie, so the Dolphins have plenty of reason to continue his development. The league's new rules will allow all of Tagovailoa, White and Thompson to be active on game days, starting with Sunday's regular-season opener against the Chargers.
