Skylar Thompson Signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers

Because Skylar was on Miami’s practice squad, he was free to sign with a team.

Skylar was thrown into action after Tua went down with a concussion in Week 2 and played horribly for Miami the rest of the game vs the Bills and the following week vs Seattle. Thompson was injured vs Seattle as well. The Dolphins turned to Tyler Huntley as quickly as possible.

Thompson, once he came back from IR, never was a consideration to play again once Tua got injured again. Miami did cut him and then re-sign him to their practice squad and called him up to the 53 man roster.

Thompson’s time in Miami was a rocky road; as a 7th-round draft pick and rookie, he was thrust into the starting lineup when Tua had numerous concussions, and Skylar also started a playoff game vs Buffalo that Miami almost won in spite of Skylar’s poor play.

Miami did sign Mike White in 2023, and Skylar wasn’t asked to play, but in 2024, when given the opportunity, many were hoping he had grown and improved since we last saw him in 2022. That wasn’t the case, though.
