Fins prep for Skylar Thompson or Teddy Bridgewater in finale

MIAMI -- Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel reiterated Monday that there is no timeline for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to return from concussion protocol.

Tagovailoa was placed into protocol last week after sustaining his second documented concussion of the season in the Dolphins' loss to the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 25. Teddy Bridgewater started in his place during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots, but was forced to leave the game early after sustaining an injury to the pinkie finger on his right hand.

Rookie seventh-round pick Skylar Thompson finished the game at quarterback, and McDaniel said he's preparing for either Thompson or Bridgewater to start Sunday's pivotal game against the New York Jets.
