When Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during the Miami Dolphins' loss last week, coach Mike McDaniel said Skylar Thompson would be the next man up.

He also said the team would look at signing another QB, and they did just that Monday with the addition of Tyler Huntley. The South Florida native spent the preseason with the Cleveland Browns but was signed off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad.

Both Thompson and Huntley have been career backups, but both started in playoff games after the 2022 season. Thompson filled in for a concussed Tagovailoa, while Huntley finished the final month as the Ravens' starter for an injured Lamar Jackson. "Snoop" Huntley even went to the Pro Bowl after that season, even though he finished with just 85 more passing yards and just one more touchdown than Thompson.

McDaniel said Tagovailoa is expected to miss at least the Dolphins' next game at the Seattle Seahawks, meaning Thompson or Huntley will be throwing to Tyreek Hill and handing off to De'Von Achane. Here's what to know about Huntley, including stats from his NFL and college football career:

Tyler Huntley highlights

Tyler Huntley's best game in the NFL came in 2021, when he threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more against the Green Bay Packers. He led a two-minute touchdown drive that brought the Ravens within a point but couldn't connect on what would have been the go-ahead two-point conversion.

Tyler Huntley Pro Bowl: How did Ravens backup QB make Pro Bowl?

Tyler Huntley has nine career starts and eight career touchdown passes. So how did he make the Pro Bowl after the 2022 season?

Huntley went in Week 13 after Lamar Jackson injured his knee and started the next four games, going 3-2 and allowing the Ravens to clinch a playoff berth. He was fine in those games, going 75 of 112 for 658 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions while running for 137 yards and another score. In the Ravens' playoff game at the Cincinnati Bengals, Huntley was 17 of 29 for 226 yards and two TDs with a pick. He also fumbled on a QB sneak, leading to a 98-yard touchdown return that decided the game.

After Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen dropped out of the Pro Bowl, Huntley shockingly was named his replacement. He was 48th in the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, finishing behind such QBs as Teddy Bridgewater, Bailey Zappe and Gardner Minshew, who appeared in fewer games. Nevertheless, Huntley represented the AFC in Orlando alongside the Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence and the Raiders' Derek Carr, who were replacing Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow.
