The Miami Dolphins’ future at quarterback is entirely uncertain with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on the injured reserve list (IR) for at least the next four weeks due to his third confirmed concussion in two years.

At this point, Miami has to consider both its short-term and long-term future at the position as it remains unclear if and when Tagovailoa will return in 2024 — and if he doesn’t, what that means for the 26-year-old’s career moving forward.

With that as context, ESPN’s Dan Graziano mentioned Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback Trey Lance and former No. 3 overall pick as a potential option ahead of the NFL’s November 5 trade deadline.

“It’s difficult to predict Tua Tagovailoa’s future in the wake of his third diagnosed concussion. But there is uncertainty in the short term and long term,” Graziano wrote. “Again, if they stay in contention and find out Tagovailoa isn’t coming back this season, the Dolphins will be looking for signal-caller options.”

Graziano also mentioned Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers as potential ways forward for the Dolphins this season.

Lance, however, might be the best of both worlds when it comes to Tagovailoa’s uncertain future. He has impressive pedigree as the former No. 3 overall pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2021.
