With Tua Tagovailoa returning to practice on Wednesday, intending to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, one crucial question remains.After Tagovailoa is activated, the Dolphins will have three or more quarterbacks on the active roster before a corresponding move is made. Tagovailoa is not expected to be activated before Wednesday after he completes the concussion protocol.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has not decided what the backup quarterback situation will look like as of Monday afternoon. "Not as of yet. It's to be determined," McDaniel said.



"Some information still needs to be gathered."Some of that information might be about Huntley's status. Huntley started at quarterback on Sunday in Indianapolis.

The severity of the injury has not been disclosed. Information on Huntley is at a minimum.'All right, we'll keep you updated and abreast on whether or not he can come back into the game,'" McDaniel said.

Tim Boyle was signed to the active roster for the game against Indianapolis. He entered the game when Huntley got hurt. His status to remain on the roster once Tagovailoa returns is also uncertain.
