Skylar Thompson injured in Dolphins vs. Seahawks game

During a recent NFL game, the Miami Dolphins faced a significant setback when quarterback Skylar Thompson was injured in the third quarter against the Seattle Seahawks. The injury occurred after Thompson was shoved down by defensive player Dre'Mont Jones, although it is believed he may have initially sustained the injury during a previous play when he was sacked by Tyrell Dodson. After the hit, Thompson appeared to be in discomfort, particularly around his ribs, and was helped off the field by medical staff. Thompson briefly returned to the game but struggled to continue, remaining on the ground for several minutes after completing a pass. Eventually, he walked to the locker room, leaving the Dolphins without their starting quarterback. This injury came at a challenging time for the team, as they were already dealing with the absence of Tua Tagovailoa, who was placed on injured reserve following his third concussion in two years. The Dolphins' injury woes did not stop with Thompson; they also lost left tackle Terron Armstead to an eye injury and cornerback Kendall Fuller to a concussion during the first half of the game. Fuller's injury was particularly concerning as he was ruled out after being evaluated for a concussion, further depleting the Dolphins' roster. On the opposing side, the Seahawks also faced injury challenges, losing key defensive players Byron Murphy II and Leonard Williams in the first half. These injuries impacted both teams' performance and depth, highlighting the physical toll of the game.
