As the season approaches, the Miami Dolphins have their eye on… Mike Glennon.Teddy Bridgewater reportedly dislocated little finger to his pitcher, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Bridgewater missed the team’s Week 17 game due to injury. He was replaced by rookie Skyler Thompson. Thompson is assumed to start if Bridgewater fails to make it to New York in Week 18 against the Jets.
Glennon was apparently signed as an insurance policy in case the Dolphins only have one active quarterback in Week 18. In that scenario, Glennon could be active from the practice squad and serve as Thompson’s backup. expensive.
Miami needs to beat Jets to make playoffs
Miami needs a win in Week 18 if they want to make the playoffs. The Dolphins entered Week 17 as his AFC final playoff seed, but dropped out of the playoff spot after he lost 23-21 to the Patriots. This loss put the Patriots in a tiebreaker over the Dolphins. That means Miami needs a better record than the Patriots to make the playoffs. If both teams finish with the same record, the Patriots will hold off the Dolphins and advance to the playoffs.
Even if the Dolphins win Week 18, the team still needs help to advance to the postseason. Miami needs the Patriots to lose to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. Buffalo’s status is unclear after safety dummer Hamlin experienced a cardiac arrest on the field during his team’s game against the Bengals in Cincinnati in Week 17. That game was suspended Monday and the NFL has yet to announce plans to continue the contest. Playoff seeding will take place when the Bills and Patriots play in Week 18.
A loss in Week 17 eliminated the Jets from the postseason. Despite this, the team won’t go easy in Miami in Week 18.
If Bridgewater can play, it will be his third start for the Dolphins this season. Overall, Bridgewater has appeared in five games in which he has scored four touchdowns and he has four interceptions.
Thompson has appeared in six games this season, including one start. He threw his 1 touchdown against his 3 interceptions in those games.
