Carson Wentz? Marcus Mariota? Will Dolphins tab veteran to back up Tua Tagovailoa?

INDIANAPOLIS -- If the Miami Dolphins learned anything last season, it’s the value of a good backup quarterback.

On five occasions in 2022, their starting quarterback was unable to finish the game he started. The most notable was on Sept. 29, when Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals and missed the next two games. He also left the loss in San Francisco on Dec. 4 because of an ankle injury. Tagovailoa suffered another concussion in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers and missed the final three games, including the wild-card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills.
