Overview
- Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will miss a second straight game with a calf injury against the Buccaneers.
- The Dolphins placed Dee Eskridge (toe), Isaiah Johnson (ACL) and Benito Jones (back) on injured reserve, ending their seasons.
- Miami activated Andrew Meyer from IR as line depth and elevated Josh Priebe and Derrick McLendon, with undrafted receiver Theo Wease signed to the roster.
- Center Aaron Brewer (neck) remains in question for Sunday, and Meyer is a candidate to start if Brewer cannot go.
- Jason Sanders was not activated from IR, so Riley Patterson will handle placekicking, and the NFL has yet to set the Week 18 Dolphins-Patriots game time.
