while Tua Tagovailoa remains in the concussion protocol.On Monday, the team revealed that quarterback Reid Sinnett has been added to the practice squad.

[{"selector":"#anim-8ceacd53-cd10-4845-b03f-25adda5bad58","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6fa4fe4f-b0e2-4431-b3e0-d84d105232d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.08797%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In 2020, Sinnett, a former San Diego college football player, signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

[{"selector":"#anim-f1663ba0-8b1e-4663-bb39-8255f478dfae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-55d16bba-4435-4125-af70-5b7498e4a3db","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 154.28170%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But he was quickly cut, and a few weeks later he joined the Dolphins practice squad. Sinnett didn't play in any games that season despite being activated for two of them.

[{"selector":"#anim-4d527009-484f-47f0-b04c-f67887da6c37","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-665358d3-4bee-4b95-b2af-a65619816106","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 136.76556%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Despite not taking part in any NFL contests, the quarterback spent the remainder of 2021 with the Philadelphia Eagles.

[{"selector":"#anim-61d3aa2b-c709-4bab-a5f8-edea7556b52d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f47e75c-7393-49ab-a783-e3e274502961","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.30309%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Up until this point, he has been available despite the team's formal release of him in September.

[{"selector":"#anim-d47ab5db-d1b9-45d8-869e-37a5c8ff99ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41160cc3-acf3-4cf9-abe2-3c325467a43f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 178.99436%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Until they know when Tua will return, Miami will start Teddy Bridgewater as quarterback. On the active roster is also rookie Skylar Thompson.

[{"selector":"#anim-a274693b-8789-418f-a770-427bae4311ca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af5addaa-e54f-44eb-affc-759f71b4711b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 145.47536%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, if something were to happen to either of them, Sinnett might soon be promoted.

[{"selector":"#anim-77855828-15af-4ad2-a416-82c1edd5fa53","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-22ccb3b1-f48b-4061-86e2-8309b286fa9c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 174.61481%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, Sinnett's third spell with the team might only last a short while if Tagovailoa is able to join them soon.
