MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins have an abundance of quarterback questions just days before their Monday night game against the Tennessee Titans.
After Skylar Thompson’s subpar performance in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks and injured ribs resulting from five sacks and nine total quarterback hits, the possibility is there for either Tyler “Snoop” Huntley or Tim Boyle to be the Dolphins’ starter versus Tennessee at Hard Rock Stadium.
Miami has to get its quarterback situation figured out with at least three games remaining for starter Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve as he recovers from the concussion suffered Sept.
It’s been 17 years since Stepha Henry was last seen at a reggae club in Sunrise. Her body was never found.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth’s moon will soon have some company — a “mini moon.”
The mini moon is actually an asteroid about the size of a school bus at 33 feet (10 meters). When it whizzes by Earth on Sunday, it will be temporarily trapped by our planet’s gravity and orbit the globe — but only for about two months.
The space rock — 2024 PT5 — was first spotted in August by astronomers at Complutense University of Madrid using a powerful telescope located in Sutherland, South Africa.
These short-lived mini moons are likely more common than we realize, said Richard Binzel, an astronomer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
