Quinn Ewersjoined theNFLrookie QB debut party on Sunday. Unfortunately, he may have had the worst time of them all. TheMiami Dolphins' 2025 seventh-round pick got the lion's share of the work vs. the Chicago Bears, giving him a first, lengthy taste of NFL action. The one-time five-star recruit and Texas Longhorn product, though, got something of a rude awakening in his Sunday debut. Ewers went just 4-for-16 passing and was under constant duress throughout the matchup, which ended in a24-24 tie. While the expectations are low for Ewers – and the competition even less so given preseason Week 1 – he had a debut that he may want to put in the rearview mirror soon. Here's how Ewers performed: Ewers put together a line to forget in his first NFL game action vs. the Bears: Completions/Attempts:5/18 Passing yards:91 (5.1 YPC) Passing touchdowns:0 Passer rating:48.1 Sacks:2 Interceptions:0 Fumbles (lost):2 (2) Rushing yards (attempts):0 (0) Ewers was the third quarterback on the field for the Dolphins following starterTua TagovailoaandZach Wilson, getting most of the passing work. He played with backups, so the less-than-great performance wasn't entirely on his shoulder pads. Still, Ewers showcased a lack of anticipation on some throws and took two inopportune strip sacks, including one while the Miami offense was backed up near its goal line.

He'll likely get another bite at the apple when the Dolphins take on the Detroit Lions on Saturday, Aug. 16. As the saying goes, it's only up from here for the Dolphins' seventh-rounder.
