Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompsonis considered day to day after suffering a "pretty painful" rib injury during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Miami head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Tuesday.
McDaniel added that the next two days will be an important period in determining Thompson's availability for the Dolphins' Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. If Thompson is unable to play, Tim Boyle or the recently signed Tyler Huntley will get the start.
"I think we have an important 48 hours to see where [Thompson's] at," McDaniel said. "We'll just have to take it a day at a time. There's a lot on the table."
Thompson struggled in nearly three quarters of action against a dominant defensive effort from the Seahawks before exiting. He completed 13 of 19 passes for just 107 yards and failed to lead the Dolphins on a drive longer than five plays. Boyle was 7-of-13 passing for 79 yards in relief.
If Boyle or Huntley start on Monday, it will mark the Dolphins' third starting quarterback in four games this season.
Tua Tagovailoa is currently on injured reserve and out a minimum of three more games after he suffered a concussion in Miami's Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 12.
McDaniel told reporters on Tuesday that Tagovailoa will meet with outside neurologists this week.
