Miami Dolphins players and coaches expressed confidence in Quinn Ewers; plus, Thursday’s injury report puts LB Jordyn Brooks’ status in question against the Bengals.

Quinn Ewers is ready to get back under center. The Miami Dolphins quarterback hasn’t started a game in almost a year, when Ohio State beat his Texas Longhorns in a College Football Playoff semifinal.

Will Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers impress in his NFL debut against the Bengals? Miami hopes so as it looks for its next quarterback of the future to replace Tua Tagovailoa next season.

Ewers was the final quarterback selected in last year’s NFL Draft despite entering the season projected as a top draft pick.

Ewers was selected in the seventh round by the Dolphins in the 2025 NFL draft. He played his last three college years for the Texas Longhorns. During his final season at Texas, he passed for 3,472 yards, 31 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and a 65.8 completion percentage.

The Miami Dolphins' decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa for seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers shocked many in the NFL this week, but not Dez Bryant.
