The depth chart at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins is reverting back to a previous state after some brief turmoil in recent weeks. Quinn Ewers has once again been relegated to the third-string role.

According to a report from the NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, Zach Wilson will “remain Dolphins QB2” behind Tua Tagovailoa for the time being. Wilson had previously lost out on the backup job to Ewers for a stretch due to practice results.

Tagovailoa was lifted from a Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns after he threw three interceptions. That’s when Quinn Ewers got his chance to enter.

Ewers went 5-for-8 for 53 yards in relief, failing to throw a touchdown pass or an interception. He was sacked twice.

In this week’s 34-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Tagovailoa was all the way back in form. He went 20-for-26 passing for 205 yards and four touchdowns. He did not throw an interception, and his team won the game going away.

That came after Quinn Ewers had briefly replaced him a week prior. Tagovailoa had made it clear he wasn’t happy with his play then.

“Definitely not happy, not proud of where I’m at with my play, with how I’ve gone about things this year,” Tagovailoa said. “I know I have to be a lot better, and I’ve been better for the Miami Dolphins years past. But this isn’t years past, this is this year. Just trying to maneuver everything and trying to build a collection of guys to kind of bring along with me, and I have to be able to multitask if that makes sense.

“To be able to do that, while continuing to get whatever it was last year and the years prior for myself to get going again. And get in that flow.”

Tagovailoa is now back in form, and Quinn Ewers will likely have to wait a bit for another shot. The former Texas product has a lot to prove still.

Ewers was a seventh-round selection by the Dolphins in the 2025 NFL Draft after a successful career with the Longhorns. He led Texas to the semifinals of the College Football Playoffs in back-to-back years.
