CLEVELAND — Quinn Ewers will serve as the Dolphins‘ backup quarterback during Sunday’s game against the Browns, marking his first time on the active game-day roster.
Zach Wilson, who was the Dolphins’ backup quarterback for the first six games of the season, is inactive for Sunday’s game and will serve as the emergency quarterback.
The reason for Ewers’ promotion is currently unknown.
Miami selected Ewers in the seventh round of this year’s draft out of Texas. He played in all three preseason games, his highlight coming in a two-touchdown performance against the Detroit Lions in his second game.
Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft by the New York Jets, signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins this offseason after spending last season as the Denver Broncos‘ backup quarterback.
Tua Tagovailoa will still start at quarterback Sunday in a game that will feature swirling winds and rain at the Browns’ lakefront stadium.
