Miami Dolphins dealing with plethora of injuries; thirteen players listed on first official injury report

Many veterans rested on Wednesday; Jalen Ramsey sits with hamstring injury.

The Miami Dolphins will host the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday as the NFL’s regular season finally arrives. Ahead of that contest, the Dolphins released their first official injury report of the season following Wednesday’s practice — and in classic Miami fashion, it reads like a CVS receipt.

In total, thirteen players were listed on the team’s injury report.

Of those thirteen, four were named strictly for “vet rest” purposes. Those players were left tackle Terron Armstead (DNP), defensive tackle Calais Campbell (DNP), cornerback Kendall Fuller (LIMITED), and linebacker David Long (LIMITED).

Three other players were listed as “vet rest,” but also other ailments. Those included linebacker Jaelan Phillips (DNP) who is still recovering from his offseason achilles surgery, Jordan Poyer (LIMITED) who is making his way back from a thumb injury, and linebacker Anthony Walker (LIMITED) who is battling a knee issue.

Starting center Aaron Brewer was limited with his hand laceration, linebacker Quinton Bell was limited with a thumb injury, defensive tackle Benito Jones was limited with a knee injury, rookie wide receiver Malik Washington was limited with a quad injury and safety Jevon Holland was a full participant despite an ankle injury.

The only Dolphins player who did not participate due to an injury alone was that of star defensive back Jalen Ramsey who is dealing with a hamstring injury. If he is unable to suit up on Sunday against the Jaguars, Miami’s cornerback unit will suddenly look very thin on paper.

In stark contrast to the large number of injuries the Dolphins are dealing with, the Jaguars listed only one player on their report — backup safety Daniel Thomas who was limited with an achilles injury.

We will continue to keep you updated on all of Miami’s injuries as the week progresses.
