The Miami Dolphins are benching Tua Tagovailoa for rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers, a person with knowledge of the quarterback change told The Associated Press, with ESPN also reporting the news. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he was considering it after a 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night eliminated Miami (6-8) from playoff contention. Tagovailoa leads the NFL with 15 interceptions and hasn't played up to his contract after signing a four-year, $212.4m extension in July 2024.
