If the Dolphins beat the New York Jets, they’ll improve to 9-8. That’ll only be good enough for a wild card berth if the 9-7 Denver Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. What makes that two-result scenario so improbable is that neither Tua Tagovailoa nor Patrick Mahomes are expected to play in Week 18.

Huntley completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 227 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing thrice for 16 yards with one fumble lost in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. Huntley failed to repeat last week's heroic spot-start (277 total yards with two TDs) which helped keep Miami's bleak playoff hopes alive.

Tagovailoa ‘would be a limited participant,’ coach Mike McDaniel said, explaining that he’s ‘approaching it as though I think Snoop is starting today.’

With Tua Tagovailoa (hip) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. While filling in for Tagovailoa in Miami's 20-3 win over the Browns in Week 17, Huntley completed 22 of his 26 pass attempts for 225 yards and a touchdown in addition to rushing seven times for 52 yards and another score.

Tyler Huntley is preparing to be the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback for their season finale Sunday against the New York Jets, with Tua Tagovailoa unlikely to play, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday.

Tua Tagovailoa was limited in Wednesday's practice as he deals with a right hip injury that sidelined him in Week 17.

He made some plays and was very good with the ball, and those are always cool things for a player when they’re playing a team that they were on in that same calendar year,” coach Mike McDaniel said.

The Browns scored nothing on their trip into the red zone. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson's fourth-down pass from the Miami 3 to wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was broken up by cornerback Jalen Ramsey with 14:11 remaining.

The Miami Dolphins took the field without their star quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, against the New York Jets on Sunday. They needed a win to have any shot at the postseason, but the game ended in a 32-20 loss to the Jets,
