Dolphins | Miami's Week 9 injury report Fri Nov 3, 12:07 PM
Miami Dolphins OL Robert Hunt (hamstring) and S Brandon Jones (concussion) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. OT Terron Armstead (knee), WR Braxton Berrios (hamstring), CB Justin Bethel (foot), WR River Cracraft (shoulder), CB Xavien Howard (groin), CB Nik Needham (Achilles), TE Durham Smythe (ankle) and C Connor Williams (groin) were limited in practice on Friday, Nov. 3, and are listed as questionable. RB Raheem Mostert (ankle) and CB Jalen Ramsey (knee) were also limited in practice on Friday but have been removed from the injury report. RB Alec Ingold (foot) and WR Jaylen Waddle (back) practiced in full all week and also no longer appear on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Mostert being removed from the injury report is your go-ahead to play him as your RB2 this week in Germany. Salvon Ahmed and Jeff Wilson are splitting the backup work and they got as many touches combined as Mostert last week, so his value is trending down with De'Von Achane also potentially due back in Week 11 after the team's bye. |
