MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is still showing no concussion symptoms after a hit against the Jets on Sunday caused him to leave the game, but he remains in the concussion protocol after the NFL's revised concussion rules.
Bridgewater has to clear the NFL’s five-step process to return to football activities. Although there is no definitive timeframe for his return, McDaniel said the earliest Bridgewater could return to practice would be Thursday.
Starter Tua Tagovailoa is still in the concussion protocol and is “not ready to take the step to do football stuff,” McDaniel said.
McDaniel also did not commit to rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson, who entered Sunday’s game after Bridgewater left, as the Dolphins starter Sunday against the Vikings.
