When the Miami Dolphins benched Tua Tagovailoa, it was assumed that many other players might finally get more playing time as the season turned to evaluation rather than winning football games. That apparently wasn't the case in Week 16.
With the Dolphins benching their quarterback, the coaching staff gave Quinn Ewers a solid target to work with, Theo Wease. It made sense; the two had been working on the scout team together all year. Having someone on the field to give Quinn some continuity made sense.
The Dolphins decided that Nick Westbrook-Ikhine wasn't needed, so he sat out the game, but it's Tahj Washington's inactive status that has fans wondering if his career in Miami is over.
