Dolphins Put RT Austin Jackson on IR, Leaving Both Right-Side Starters Out

Miami plans to start Larry Borom at right tackle with Kion Smith at right guard against New England.

Overview

  • Austin Jackson was placed on injured reserve with a left toe injury, sidelining the right tackle for at least four games after aggravating it in the Week 1 loss at Indianapolis.
  • Right guard James Daniels went on IR earlier in the week with a pectoral injury, removing both starters from the side that protects Tua Tagovailoa’s blind side.
  • Larry Borom is expected to start at right tackle with Kion Smith at right guard for Sunday’s home opener against the Patriots.
  • Miami signed cornerback Cornell Armstrong to the 53-man roster and elevated kicker Riley Patterson and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. from the practice squad.
  • Patterson and Wilson received their second gameday elevations and have one remaining under NFL rules, and the Dolphins are likely to dress all eight healthy offensive linemen.
