Dolphins Rule Out Minkah Fitzpatrick for Bucs Game, Keep IR Option Open

Miami is leaving injured reserve off the table to preserve a possible Week 18 return against New England.

Overview

  • Center Aaron Brewer practiced Friday after a neck issue and is a possibility for Sunday, with Andrew Meyer set to be activated from IR as an emergency option.
  • Cornerback Isaiah Johnson tore an ACL in Wednesday’s practice and will miss the rest of the season.
  • Tight end Darren Waller should be good to go, while returner Dee Eskridge is unlikely to play after missing practice.
  • Miami has yet to decide whether to activate kicker Jason Sanders off IR or continue with Riley Patterson.
  • The Week 18 finale versus the Patriots has no set date or time as the NFL waits on New England’s seeding outlook.
