Per Ian Rapoport, Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel told reporters that QB Teddy Bridgewater will start against the Patriots in Week 17 due to QB Tua Tagovailoa sustaining a concussion against the Packers.
Bridgewater, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Vikings back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $6,849,502 rookie contract after Minnesota declined to pick up his fifth-year option.
Bridgewater signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Jets that included just $500,000 guaranteed. However, the Jets later traded him to the Saints during the preseason and he returned to New Orleans in 2019 on another one-year contract.
The Panthers signed Bridgewater to a three-year, $63 million contract in 2020. However, Carolina traded him to the Broncos. He then joined the Dolphins on a one-year deal this offseason.
In 2022, Bridgewater has appeared in four games for the Dolphins, throwing for three touchdowns and three interceptions to go along with 522 yards and a completion percentage of 61.7 percent.
