Tua Tagovailoa is out for the Miami Dolphins in a must-win game against the New York Jets and Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback in his place.

Tyler Huntley is preparing to be the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback for their season finale Sunday against the New York Jets, with Tua Tagovailoa unlikely to play, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he’s preparing as if Tyler Huntley will remain in the lineup in Week 18.

He made some plays and was very good with the ball, and those are always cool things for a player when they’re playing a team that they were on in that same calendar year,” coach Mike McDaniel said.

The Miami Dolphins continue to approach Sunday’s game as if Tyler “Snoop” Huntley will start at quarterback for Tua Tagovailoa. As of Friday, Tagovailoa is in line to miss a second straight game with his hip injury when the Dolphins square off against the New York Jets in the regular-season finale with a playoff spot potentially on the line.

Some of the Dolphins' quarterbacks who have been willing to run in past years include Pat White, Ryan Tannehill, Jay Fiedler and Ryan Fitzpatrick. None of those players will be confused with RGIII. But Huntley, a native of Dania Beach, can be really dangerous with his legs.

The Browns scored nothing on their trip into the red zone. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson's fourth-down pass from the Miami 3 to wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was broken up by cornerback Jalen Ramsey with 14:11 remaining.

Tagovailoa ‘would be a limited participant,’ coach Mike McDaniel said, explaining that he’s ‘approaching it as though I think Snoop is starting today.’
