Overview

  • Head coach Aaron Glenn said Saturday that Fields passed the NFL concussion protocol and will start in Miami on Monday night.
  • Fields sustained a Week 2 concussion against the Bills on a hit by Joey Bosa, missed Week 3, practiced fully Thursday and Friday, and was cleared Friday.
  • Both teams are 0-3; Miami’s defense ranks last in scoring defense with notable weaknesses against the pass and run, presenting a favorable matchup.
  • Tyrod Taylor, who went 26-of-36 for 197 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the loss to the Buccaneers, returns to the backup role.
  • Fields opened the season with 218 passing yards and three total touchdowns versus the Steelers before struggling in Week 2 (3-of-11 for 27 yards) prior to the injury.
