Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers will make his first NFL start on Sunday in place of the benched Tua Tagovailoa. Why it matters: Ewers will be Miami's 27th different starting quarterback since Dan Marino retired in 2000.

Ewers was the final quarterback selected in last year’s NFL Draft despite entering the season projected as a top draft pick.

Ewers was selected in the seventh round by the Dolphins in the 2025 NFL draft. He played his last three college years for the Texas Longhorns. During his final season at Texas, he passed for 3,472 yards, 31 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and a 65.8 completion percentage.
