Mike McDaniel said Dolphins backup quarterback Mike White is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after team staff members noticed “irregularities” during Saturday’s preseason game at the Houston Texans.
White tried to evade a pass rush on second down at the Miami 41, but was sacked by Houston defensive end Adedayo Odeleye. The Dolphins eventually punted. White was tackled to the ground and did not return. Thompson finished the game.
White started Miami’s preseason opener against Atlanta and completed 9 of 14 passes for 85 yards with one interception. He and Thompson, a 2022 seventh-round draft pick, are both vying for the No. 2 quarterback role behind Tagovailoa. Rookie running back De’Von Achane was carted off the field Saturday with a shoulder injury after a defensive lineman fell on him. McDaniel said Achane avoided serious injury and is week to week.
“We avoided anything too substantial in terms of a timeline,” McDaniel said Saturday. “I’m not really worried about it. I’m just worried about him getting right as fast as possible, which I know he’ll do.”
