Another QB Move Ahead of Green Bay Game
The Miami Dolphins again have three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.
As part of their customary pregame roster moves ahead of the Thanksgiving night game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Dolphins activated Tyler “Snoop” Huntley off injured reserve to join Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson on the 53-man roster.
To make room for Huntley, the Dolphins placed linebacker Tyus Bowser on injured reserve. They also elevated newly signed long snapper Zach Triner to the game-day lineup after previous Tucker Addington had used up his three practice squad elevations.
The noteworthy move, though, clearly involved Huntley, who was placed on IR after he sustained a shoulder injury in the Week 7 loss against the Indianapolis Colts, a 16-10 loss during which he made his third start at quarterback.
Because he has yet to practice, one would think that Skylar Thompson would remain the backup quarterback for the game against Green Bay, but it’s certainly open season on the No. 2 job after that.
This move, incidentally, comes two days after head coach Mike McDaniel was asked whether he trusts Thompson in the aftermath of the muffed handoff with rookie Jaylen Wright that ended in a New England touchdown on Thompson’s second play in the game last Sunday.
The head coach offered pretty much the only answer he could: “Yeah, I trust Skylar. I think the situation this past game was unacceptable from just the whole unit. I think that from our perspective, I think across the board that’s not to our standard from the way we came out of the huddle to the execution of plays and then to give up points on an offensive play. And I won’t get into the nitty gritty of – I’m not going to point fingers at a microphone, but ultimately, that falls on everybody involved including the coaches that we can’t have that collective effort. That wasn’t him just responsible for, but my reaction towards it wasn’t strictly based on him; it was more of a tonality with the whole group.”
During his three games, Huntley completed 39 of 66 passes for 377 yards with one touchdown and one interception for a passer rating of 73.9.
The offense, though, took a massive step back with him at quarterback and the week before when Thompson started against the Seattle Seahawks.
The addition of Huntley gives the Dolphins another option, though the question remains whether they have the right option on the roster.
The loss of Bowser leaves the Dolphins with four outside linebackers currently on the 53-man roster — rookie Chop Robinson, Emmanuel Ogbah, Quinton Bell and rookie Mohamed Kamara.
Head coach Mike McDaniel has said that former Pro Bowl selection Bradley Chubb is expected to return at some point in 2024, and the Dolphins also could fellow outside linebacker Cameron Goode back.
The Dolphins declined Thursday to activate Shaquil Barrett off the Reserve/Retired list after he applied to the NFL for reinstatement because he wants to play again.
Bowser will have to miss at least four games before he can return, meaning the first game for which he would be eligible would be against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17.
Huntley becomes the fifth Dolphins player to be activated off IR, joining Tua Tagovailoa, WR River Cracraft, CB Cam Smith and S Patrick McMorris.
That means the Dolphins have three designations left, and that doesn’t count either Chubb or Goode because both of them were on PUP.
Long snapper Blake Ferguson has been eligible to return from the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list, and that one would count against the eight-return limit for the regular season.
The only other player the Dolphins have who’s eligible to return from IR who hasn’t officially been declared out for the season is wide receiver Grant DuBose.

Anti-war protest sparks in Indianapolis amid US-Iran conflict
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – More than a dozen protesters gathered at Military Park. In a dramatic escalation, the US and Israel engaged in military strikes against Iran and protesters are upset, including veteran Lucas Lee.
“I know what it’s like to be on the edge, potentially going somewhere where your life is at risk. And I believe this war is something we shouldn’t be fighting in. It’s important to stand up, because not only is standing up the right thing to do, but it could potentially save lives.”
Protesters held signs that read ‘Hands off Iran’ in front of the corner of West and New York intersection.
Several cars honked in support. Democratic City County Councilor Jesse Brown attended as well.
IPS School Teacher Noah Leininger organized the Anti-Iran War Rally. “The United States spends 1 trillion dollars on war every single year. While there are massive unmet needs right here in our own communities. People need jobs, healthcare, housing, and schools. And instead our government spends a trillion dollars every year to go and bomb elementary school age girls,” he said.
Iranian officials say the U.S. and Isreal hit a girl’s primary school in southern Iran killing at least 115 people.
The US strikes have not only created tension in the Middle East, but also here at home.
Mark Oakley who supports military action Iran, confronted the anti-war protesters. “Freedom for Iranian people, freedom for Americans. Freedom for everybody, but this [protest] is not it. When you’re debating about innocent people getting killed. You are debating the wrong thing.”
Additional police were called in to de-escalate the situation.
Chris Gomez, attended the protest because he wanted to take action. “Trump ran on a platform called the party of peace. That’s what Republicans run their policy on a party of peace, but look where we are now.”

Indianapolis Opera’s free concert spotlights influential Black composers
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Opera will host a free concert in honor of Black History Month Saturday night at 6 p.m. to celebrate the legacy and artistry of Black composers. The event features a range of spirituals, contemporary art songs, and operatic works performed a cappella.
Lyndsay Moy, the director of education, outreach, branding and design for Indianapolis Opera, said the event is designed to keep this specific music accessible to the public.
Resident artist Ian Williams, describes the concert as a mix of traditional repertoire and new songs. The artists will perform without microphones or instrumental accompaniment. “All of this is just straight out of our voices, so there’s no microphones,” Williams said. “We’re just creating the sound ourselves and putting it into a space, so it’s a little bit of, a little bit of breathing, a little bit of extra work there, yes.”
“So many composers tonight have been so influential in the broader vocal canon and it’s important and wonderful for us to be able to offer this kind of concert for free to our community to keep this kind of music accessible and more importantly to feature these fabulous artists like Ian so much talent,” Moy said.
Williams noted that the concert allows the organization to celebrate classic composers who were not well known during their own time. “It’s very cool because we get to celebrate some of classic composers all the way back to William Grant Steele, who was one of the who wrote operas back in the day, even during the time of Porgy and Bess, but he wasn’t, it wasn’t well known,” Williams said.
One of the featured pieces is the traditional spiritual “Fix Me Jesus,” which was arranged for the University of Michigan choir. Williams said the arrangement by Stacey Gibbs maintains the traditional spiritual style while adding rich harmonies.
While formal tickets for the event are currently sold out, those interested in attending can email tickets@indyopera.org to be added to a waitlist.
