Overview

  • Starting safety Ashtyn Davis suffered a non-contact lower leg injury during drills and returned to the sideline on crutches with a walking boot.
  • Cornerback Kader Kohou remains sidelined after knee swelling prevented an immediate diagnosis and he has yet to resume practice.
  • The Dolphins signed veteran cornerbacks Mike Hilton and Jack Jones to provide immediate depth in the wake of Kohou’s absence.
  • Miami’s safety room is thin with Ifeatu Melifonwu on the non-football injury list and Dante Trader Jr. also unavailable.
  • Further roster moves will depend on upcoming medical findings as the Dolphins aim to shore up pass defense depth.
