Zach Wilson Frustrated After Dolphins Name Rookie Ewers Starting QB

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson expressed frustration and confusion after the team named rookie Quinn Ewers as the starting quarterback for Week 16, bypassing Wilson for the role. Wilson will now serve as the No. 2 backup behind Ewers, following Tua Tagovailoa's benching. He wished Ewers well but admitted disappointment, stating, "Of course I would love to play." Wilson, who signed a one-year, $6 million contract last offseason and appeared in three games as a backup, is a free agent after this season. Head coach Mike McDaniel indicated Wilson still has a chance to play this season.
