Dolphins Put RT Austin Jackson on IR as Right Side Is Rebuilt

The move elevates Larry Borom to right tackle with Kion Smith at right guard for the Week 2 home game against New England.

Overview

  • Miami placed starting right tackle Austin Jackson on injured reserve with a toe injury, sidelining him for at least four games.
  • Right guard James Daniels went on IR earlier this week with a pectoral injury, leaving both right-side starters out.
  • Larry Borom is set to start at right tackle with Kion Smith at right guard, with Cole Strange recently added for interior depth.
  • The Dolphins elevated kicker Riley Patterson and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. from the practice squad and signed cornerback Cornell Armstrong to the active roster.
  • Jackson missed most of training camp with a toe issue and has a recent history of missed time, intensifying protection concerns for Tua Tagovailoa against a Patriots pass rush that produced five sacks in Week 1.
