Dolphins' Jerome Baker Placed on Injured Reserve, Rob Hunt Ruled Out vs Titans

Injury updates leave Dolphins with roster decisions ahead of Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury sustained during last week's win over the Washington Commanders.
Despite initial assessments suggesting the injury was not serious, the decision to put Baker on IR was influenced by several factors including the expected timeline for Baker's return and Miami's need for a roster spot.
Duke Riley is expected to start in Baker's place, with the Dolphins signing linebacker Calvin Munson to their 53-man roster from the New England Patriots' practice squad.
Starting right guard Rob Hunt will also miss Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans due to a hamstring injury.
The Dolphins can only activate one more player from the reserve list this season, but it remains unclear whether that will be Baker or another player.
