Overview
- Coach Mike McDaniel said right guard James Daniels will miss a couple of weeks after a right pectoral injury and that the team is evaluating whether to place him on injured reserve, which would sideline him at least four games.
- Cornerback Storm Duck is also expected to be out a couple of weeks with an ankle injury sustained during a tackle, and recent signee Rasul Douglas filled in and broke up a pass.
- Kion Smith replaced Daniels at right guard and drew a mixed assessment from McDaniel, with coaches noting positives and areas for improvement.
- Right tackle Austin Jackson aggravated the toe injury that limited him in camp, his status is still being evaluated, and Larry Borom finished the game and could start if needed.
- Defensive tackle Benito Jones is considered week-to-week after an oblique tweak, and no Dolphins player entered concussion protocol Monday, easing concerns for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
