Geno Smith threw for 289 yards and a 71-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf, Zach Charbonnet ran for two scores and the Seattle Seahawks beat Miami 24-3 on Sunday as attention focused on yet another injury to a Dolphins quarterback.
A week after missing Tua Tagovailoa with a third concussion in the past two years, the Dolphins watched Skylar Thompson suffer a chest injury in the
second half, leaving Tim Boyle with the responsibility of trying to overcome a 17-3 deficit.
Boyle was unable to direct the comeback and the Dolphins (1-2) find themselves in the midst of an uncertain situation at quarterback.
Thompson was injured in the third quarter while lying on the field after being shoved by Dre’Mont Jones after throwing a pass to De’Von Achane. But the injury appears to have occurred on the previous offensive series, when Thompson was sacked by Tyrel Dodson and was hunched over in the midsection as he ran off the field.
Thompson completed 13 of 19 passes for 107 yards before leaving the game. He was also sacked five times behind the line of scrimmage.
Tagovailoa traveled to Seattle a week after suffering a concussion against Buffalo on Sept. 12.
