Zach Wilson is back in the AFC East.
And man, he could end up being quite important.
Wilson joined the Miami Dolphins as their backup quarterback this offseason. And that’s a crucial role, because Tua Tagovailoa can’t seem to stay healthy.
ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques thinks Wilson is one of the three “players to watch” in Dolphins training camp for that reason.
“The Dolphins’ backup quarterback job might be the most highly-publicized backup role in the league over the past few seasons,” Louis-Jacques writes. “Miami can no longer go all-in on Tua Tagovailoa’s availability over a full season, and must have a capable backup on its roster. The Dolphins are counting on either Wilson or seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers to be that guy.”

Louis-Jacques does project Ewers to join Wilson in making the 53-man roster.
But it’d be a bad sign for the Dolphins if the former No. 2 overall pick of the Jets can’t hold off the seventh-rounder for the main backup role.
Don’t be surprised to see Wilson on the field this season in Dolphins colors, maybe even against the Jets.
