Mike McDaniel should flip to Tyler Huntley once more for this recreation, as Tua Tagovailoa continues to be nursing a concussion, and there’s no timetable for his return, and backup QB Skylar Thompson can be out with an damage.

The Patriots’ protection hasn’t been as dangerous as their offense, and they need to have the ability to dictate the tempo of this recreation.
Miami’s offense struggled mightily with Huntley below heart and will barely transfer the chains in Week 4 vs. the Tennessee Titans.
