David Howard+FollowDolphins just benched Tua — rookie Quinn Ewers is startingBig shake-up in Miami: Tua Tagovailoa is getting benched, and the Dolphins are handing the offense to rookie Quinn Ewers as the new starter, per reporting. What makes it even wilder: Tua was moved all the way to third-string, with Zach Wilson listed as Ewers’ backup. Per coverage of Mike McDaniel’s comments, the team is framing this as a “best chance to win right now” decision (with Miami already out of the playoff picture), and Ewers is expected to make his first NFL start vs the Bengals. #NFL #Dolphins #TuaTagovailoa #QuinnEwers #NFLNews #QBChange #Week1620Share
Patty Mills+FollowSaints RB room is running on fumesNew Orleans is digging deep at running back. Per Adam Schefter, with Devin Neal out this week and Alvin Kamara dealing with ankle/knee injuries, the Saints are signing veteran RB Nyheim Hines to the practice squad. What makes this notable is who Hines is right now: he’s still working his way back from the 2023 jet ski accident that caused major knee damage and essentially wiped out his last couple seasons. If Kamara can’t go, or can’t handle a full workload, this is a “break glass in case of emergency” move—with the added upside that Hines can give you juice as a pass-catcher/space player if he’s anywhere close to himself. #Saints #NFL #AlvinKamara #NyheimHines #NFLNews #RunningBack #Week1630Share
