Dolphins preparing QB Tyler Huntley to start vs. Jets

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Miami Dolphins are preparing quarterback Tyler Huntley to start Sunday’s critical matchup at the New York Jets in place of Tua Tagovailoa, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Wednesday.

However, McDaniel said if Tagovailoa is medically cleared and has seen enough improvement in his injured hip, the team is comfortable switching to start him in Sunday’s must-win game.

Tagovailoa will be limited in practice Wednesday. He initially injured his hip against the Houston Texans on Dec. 15 and absorbed another hit versus the San Francisco 49ers a week later. He missed last week’s 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns, which kept the Dolphins (8-8) in contention for a playoff spot.

Huntley, 26, has started four games this season, completed 61 of 92 passes (66.3 percent) for 602 yards, two TDs and one pick. He also ran 23 times for 119 yards and two scores.

Tagovailoa already has missed five games this season because of a concussion while starting the other 11. He has completed 291 of 399 passes (league-best 72.9 percent) for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Dolphins QB Tyler Huntley hurts shoulder, ruled out vs. Colts

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley departed Sunday’s contest against the Indianapolis Colts in the third quarter with an injury to his throwing shoulder.

The Dolphins initially said Huntley was questionable to return, but soon after he was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Huntley exited the game after taking a hit to the right shoulder from Kenny Moore II while throwing an incomplete pass on third down with 7:36 left in the third quarter. He immediately went to the locker room.

Tim Boyle took over when Miami next had the ball. The Dolphins remain without Tua Tagovailoa, who sustained a concussion in Week 2.

Huntley completed 7 of 13 passes for 87 yards and one touchdown before exiting. He rushed for 20 yards on five carries.

The contest was tied at 10 after three quarters.

Dolphins QB Tyler Huntley to start Monday vs. Titans

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Tyler “Snoop” Huntley will be the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in Monday night’s game against the visiting Tennessee Titans.

Huntley will make his Dolphins debut and veteran Tim Boyle will serve as his backup with Tua Tagovailoa still in the concussion protocol and Skylar Thompson dealing with a rib injury, coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Saturday.

“Snoop has started multiple and many big games,” McDaniel said. “…As a quarterback, understanding exactly what is required to win over teammates to take the place of someone else and assert their own personality and skillset and traits within the offense and lead people.”

Miami signed Huntley, 26, off Baltimore’s practice squad on Sept. 17. He played in 20 games and made nine starts (3-6 record) for the Ravens from 2020-23.

Huntley, who was named to the Pro Bowl after the 2022 season, has completed 64.6 percent of his passes for 1,957 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has rushed for 509 yards and three scores.

Huntley told reporters on Thursday that he was getting the hang of McDaniel’s offense.

“It’s like riding a bike — first time, you’re a little iffy, you didn’t know how to pedal,” Huntley said. “Then you just start putting it all together, pedaling, going in a straight line, then after a while, you’re going to start standing up.”

Huntley was the emergency third quarterback for Miami (1-2) in last Sunday’s 24-3 loss at Seattle. Thompson was 13-of-19 passing for 107 yards and was sacked five times before exiting. Boyle completed 7 of 13 passes for 79 yards. Neither had a touchdown or an interception.

Huntley spent four seasons with the Ravens and made all his starts while Lamar Jackson was sidelined with injuries. He went to training camp with the Cleveland Browns this year and was later released.

Huntley, who grew up in the Miami area, was asked this week about potentially starting for the Dolphins against the Titans (0-3).

“That’s a child’s dream,” he said. “Being able to play for your home team … it’d mean everything in the world.”

Ravens bring back QB Tyler Huntley, place him on practice squad

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Baltimore Ravens brought back quarterback Tyler Huntley, a Pro Bowl player for the team in 2022, and placed him on the practice squad on Saturday.

Huntley, 26, spent the past four seasons as a backup to starter Lamar Jackson before signing a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Cleveland Browns in March.

Cleveland released him on Thursday with three other quarterbacks on its roster. Baltimore has two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Jackson and veteran Josh Johnson on its 53-man roster, with Huntley and rookie Devin Leary, a sixth-round pick out of Kentucky, on the practice squad.

Huntley was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 after completing 67 percent of his passes for 658 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in six games (four starts).

He has thrown for 1,957 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions in 20 games (nine starts) with the Ravens. He signed with Baltimore in 2020 as an undrafted free agent out of Utah.

Reports: Browns restructure QB Deshaun Watson’s contract

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cleveland Browns restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson’s contract in a move that created $35.832 million in salary cap space, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.

Per the reports, the Browns converted $44.79 million of Watson’s $46 million base salary this season into a signing bonus. The move gives the Browns more than $62 million in cap space.

Also on Thursday, multiple outlets reported that Cleveland was expected to release quarterback Tyler Huntley. That would leave the Browns with Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the quarterback room ahead of the season opener against the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 8.

The Browns adjusted Watson’s NFL-record $230 million fully guaranteed deal prior to the start of free agency in 2023, clearing approximately $36 million in cap space.

Watson, 28, will have cap hits of $72.9 million in the 2025 and 2026 seasons, with $172 million and $99 million in dead cap hits, respectively.

Watson has played just 12 games for the Browns over two seasons since they acquired him from the Houston Texans. He served an 11-game suspension to begin the 2022 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, in connection to lawsuits from more than two dozen female massage therapists alleging sexual harassment and assault.

Then, multiple injuries limited Watson to six games in 2023, when he threw for 1,115 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 61.4 percent of his passes.

Watson, a three-time Pro Bowler during his time with Houston, has thrown for 16,756 yards, 118 touchdowns and 45 interceptions in 66 games (65 starts) since entering the league in 2017. He has a 36-29 record as a starter.

Huntley signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Browns in March.

Huntley, 26, spent four seasons as a backup to Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 after completing 67.0 percent of his passes for 658 yards and two TDs in six games (four starts).

Huntley has thrown for 1,957 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions in 20 games (nine starts) with the Ravens. He signed with Baltimore in 2020 as an undrafted free agent out of Utah.

Report: With QBs aplenty, Browns to listen to trade offers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cleveland Browns have a full quarterback room and have talked with “multiple teams” about a possible trade for second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, The Athletic reported Tuesday.

Deshaun Watson is the incumbent starter with Jameis Winston his expected backup. That leaves veteran Tyler Huntley to vie with Thompson-Robinson for the No. 3 spot.

The Browns signed Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, to a one-year, $4 million deal in March. That same month, they added Huntley, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, on a one-year, $1.29 million contract.

Thompson-Robinson signed a four-year, $4.18 million pact after the Browns selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 draft.

Per The Athletic, the Browns could trade to try to fill holes left by injuries elsewhere on the roster, such as along the offensive line and in the secondary.

Thompson-Robinson ended the 2023 season with a hip injury but has fully participated in summer practices.

As a rookie, Thompson-Robinson appeared in eight games (three starts) and completed 53.6 percent of his passes for 440 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) misses first practice this season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not participate in Thursday’s practice due to an illness, the first time this season he was unavailable.

Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson stood in at quarterback in the absence of Jackson, who missed games in December each of the past two seasons due to injury.

The Ravens are otherwise fully healthy coming out of the bye week and face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

NFL Network reported Jackson should be ready for gameday.

Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman missed Wednesday’s practice due to illness but was back on the field Thursday afternoon.

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said head coach John Harbaugh would have to share any information on the reason for Jackson’s absence.

Jackson, 26, has completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 2,618 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions in 12 games this season. The 2019 NFL MVP has rushed for 574 yards and five TDs for the Ravens (9-3), who have won six of seven games entering Sunday’s clash against the visiting Los Angeles Rams (6-6).

Huntley, Baltimore’s primary backup, posted a 2-2 record while replacing Jackson in 2022.

Report: Ravens QB Tyler Huntley has minor hamstring injury

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is nursing a minor hamstring injury, NFL Network reported on Sunday.

Huntley exited in the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ 20-19 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday after completing 8 of 11 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 13 yards. Huntley began the second half in place of Josh Johnson, who got the start with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson sitting out the preseason game.

Anthony Brown relieved Huntley for the Ravens, who have won 24 consecutive preseason games.

Huntley, 25, signed a one-year, restricted free-agent tender worth $2.63 million in April.

He appeared in six games (four starts) for the Ravens in 2022, throwing for 658 yards and two touchdowns against three interceptions. He also rushed 43 times for 137 yards and a touchdown and earned the first Pro Bowl selection of his career.

Huntley is 3-5 as a starter across three seasons in Baltimore.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley signs RFA tender

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Baltimore Ravens now have two quarterbacks under contract for 2023, neither one named Lamar Jackson.

Tyler Huntley signed his one-year, restricted free agent tender worth $2.627 million on Monday. He joins Anthony Brown as one of two QBs the Ravens have in the fold.

The Ravens and Jackson remain in a stalemate. The Ravens placed the franchise tag on Jackson, who has said he won’t sign it and instead wants to be traded.

The Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson on March 7, five days after he says he requested the trade. The sides failed to reach agreement on a new contract despite negotiations that have lasted more than a year.

Jackson has until July 17 to sign the tender, or sign a long-term deal with the club, with the latter appearing unlikely now.

Until he signs the $32.41 million tender, Jackson is free to meet with other teams and agree to a long-term deal with one of them. The Ravens, by using the franchise tag, have refusal rights and can match any offer sheet Jackson receives. If the Ravens choose not to match a contract offer, they would command two first-round picks in exchange for Jackson.

If Jackson doesn’t find a suitor and if the Ravens refuse to trade him, Jackson will be forced to play on the tender or sit out the 2023 season.

Huntley appeared in six games (four starts) for the Ravens in 2022, throwing for 658 yards and two touchdowns against three interceptions, earning is first Pro Bowl nod.

He’s 3-5 as a starter across three seasons in Baltimore.
