Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers suffered an apparent knee injury in the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots on Jan. 4.

The Dolphins announced Ewers' status was questionable to return late in the fourth quarter while Miami trailed New England 38-10 in their NFL regular season finale.

Ewers completed 16 of 23 passes for 137 yards with a touchdown and interception prior to his injury. Zach Wilson entered the game to replace Ewers after his injury.

Miami trailed just 17-10 at halftime after a competitive first half, but New England took complete control after intercepting Ewers on Miami's first possession of the second half.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye then hit running back Rhamondre Stevenson for a 15-yard touchdown and, after a quick Dolphins punt, Stevenson scored an easy 35-yard rushing touchdown to push New England's lead to 31-10.
