Skylar Thompson Responsible For Three Turnovers Friday
Published: Aug 12, 2023 at 03:24 AM
Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson completed 10 of 16 passes for 107 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions during Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons. He also rushed for 10 yards and lost a fumble. Thompson was a preseason star as a rookie last year but posted subpar results when facing stronger defenses during the regular season. (He made seven appearances and two starts amidst injuries to Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater.) Now, Thompson finds himself in a quarterback competition with former Jet and offseason addition Mike White. It's worth noting that White's outing on Friday didn't go much better; he finished 9-for-14 with 85 yards and an interception. The bid to earn a roster spot and the backup role behind Tagovailoa will continue when the Dolphins travel to Houston next Saturday.
