Through the first six games of the season, Zach Wilson served as the understudy to Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

McDaniel’s frustrating body language toward the rookie came immediately following Ewers’ first drive in the NFL, which resulted in a three-and-out after he completed 1 of 2 passes for minus-2 yards and then fumbled the third-down shotgun snap.

Zach Wilson will be the inactive emergency third quarterback.

The Dolphins made Quinn Ewers their backup quarterback for the first time this season in Sunday's game against the Browns.
