In the wake of Tua Tagovailoa's concussion Thursday night, there was a lot of speculation about which quarterback the Miami Dolphins would sign. Now we know.

The Dolphins are signing Tyler Huntley off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad, according to an NFL Network report Monday morning.

Huntley makes a South Florida homecoming after playing his high school football at Hallandale High. He was the Sun Sentinel's player of the year in Broward County in 2015.

Following a college career at Utah, he went undrafted in the NFL but has been backing up Lamar Jackson in Baltimore in recent years. Huntley is 3-6 as an NFL starter, completing 64.6 percent of passes for 1,957 yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions, 509 yards rushing and another three touchdowns rushing. He has one career playoff start, a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2022 postseason when Jackson was out.

With a number of AFC quarterbacks either out or foregoing entry into the Pro Bowl following that season, Huntley was actually named to the NFL's all-star exhibition.

This season, the Ravens had Josh Johnson as Jackson's No. 2, relegating Huntley to the practice squad and making him available to get poached.

The Dolphins were in the market for a quarterback after Tagovailoa went down with a concussion in the third quarter of Thursday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Backup Skylar Thompson is slated to start, and Miami has Tim Boyle on its practice squad. Tagovailoa, now in the NFL's concussion protocol, is at least out for Sunday's upcoming game against the Seahawks in Seattle.

Some names that had been thrown around as possibilities included former Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, a trade for veteran Jimmy Garoppolo or a free agent pickup of C.J. Beathard, the last two of which have experience with coach Mike McDaniel in San Francisco.
