Dolphins Waived Veteran QB On Saturday

The Miami Dolphins have started to look more like themselves in the second half of the 2024 NFL season, though it might be too late as they sit at 6-7 with just four games left.

The Dolphins’ offense under head coach Mike McDaniel earned a reputation for being highly explosive, but that hasn’t been the case this season.

That largely has to do with Tua Tagovailoa’s health as the quarterback was forced to miss several games due to a concussion.

Since Tagovailoa’s return, though, the passing game has looked better despite some slight differences in target distribution.

Tagovailoa has done a better job of not putting himself in dangerous positions on the field, though investing in a quality backup is still a wise move for Miami.

With Tagovailoa healthy and Tyler Huntler as the backup, Miami recently made the decision to waive Skylar Thompson, a move it announced on X.

Thompson took over for Tagovailoa in Week 2 but found himself sidelined as well after suffering a rib injury in Week 3.

The 27-year-old will likely clear waivers and be eligible to find a new team, though it remains to be seen if anyone will be interested this season or going forward.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
