Injured Reserve 9
Injured Reserve
This move was anticipated after Sieler suffered a ruptured biceps in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Lions. The veteran defensive tackle is scheduled for surgery and will finish his ninth NFL campaign with 24 tackles, including 2.0 sacks. Zeek Biggers, Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips could all take on more defensive snaps with Sieler sidelined for the rest of the season.
Reported: Nov 10
Injured Reserve
Louis progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be cleared to practice Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in his return. He'll likely need to log consecutive full practices before being activated from IR, but there's a chance that he is given the green light to play against the Jets on Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder's return would bolster the Dolphins' depth in the secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.
Reported: Oct 21
Injured Reserve
Harrison was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers due to his injury. The linebacker suffered the hamstring injury during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Raiders and has been unable to practice since the incident. Harrison will now need to miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster.
Reported: Sep 19
Injured Reserve
Achane's move to injured reserve was merely a formality after head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed earlier Monday that the running back would be lost for the season after sustaining an ACL tear in his left knee during Sunday's 24-10 loss to Kansas City. With Achane out of the mix for the rest of 2026, the Dolphins are left with Jaylen Wright (foot) and Ollie Gordon as the lone running backs on the 53-man roster.
Reported: Sep 28
Injured Reserve
Sims was waived/injured by Miami on Monday, and he shifted over to the team's IR after not being claimed. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four games, though it's possible that he reaches an injury settlement with the Dolphins, allowing the Baylor product to sign and play with a team once fully healthy. Sims appeared in 11 regular-season games between the Packers (three games) and Vikings (eight games) in 2025, finishing with three catches (on six targets) for 30 yards.
Reported: Sep 01
Injured Reserve
The tight end was waived/injured by Miami on Wednesday. Now that he has cleared waivers and moved to IR, Turner will need to reach an injury settlement with the Dolphins to have a chance to play in 2026. The former Titan and Commander has 13 catches for 143 yards and no touchdowns across three NFL seasons.
Reported: Aug 27
Out 14
Out
Baker has been on the reserve/PUP list since Aug. 31 after suffering an undisclosed injury in July. The cornerback is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened and begin practicing at any point, but he doesn't appear to be healthy enough to do so yet.
Reported: Nov 04
Out
Duck remains on the reserve/PUP list. After practicing in full this week, Duck will have a better chance to suit up in Week 7 following Miami's bye next week.
Reported: Oct 10
Out
Cook will once again be the emergency QB3 behind Malik Willis and Kyle McCord. As such, Cook is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Willis and McCord leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Reported: Sep 27
Out
After missing last Sunday's loss to the Lions, Wright figures to be back in as the lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon, though Wright has not produced when on the field this season. He's averaged 1,9 yards per carry on 22 attempts and is virtually a zero in the passing game.
Reported: Nov 11
Out
Wayne was limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions. He was a full participant Friday and didn't carry an injury designation for the Week 8 meeting with New England. However, despite being healthy enough to suit up, the wideout won't be on the field Sunday.
Reported: Nov 01

Questionable 25
Questionable
Brents logged a full practice Friday, but he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be available for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Marcellas Dial and Jaylin Simpson would be the top candidates to start opposite Jason Marshall at outside cornerback if Brents is not cleared to play.
Reported: Oct 30
Questionable
McCloud served as a reserve defensive back for the Packers in 2025, recording 27 total tackles (18 solo) and two passes defensed over 15 regular-season games. The Dolphins are currently extremely low on secondary depth due to injuries to Storm Duck (knee), Darrell Baker (undisclosed), Lonnie Johnson (leg), Omar Brown (undisclosed) and JuJu Brents (undisclosed). McCloud has a strong opportunity to compete for a 53-man roster spot throughout the preseason.
Reported: Aug 10
Questionable
Savaiinaea suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 5 loss to the Bengals, and his ability to practice in any capacity Monday is a positive sign. The offensive lineman will have a few more chances to log a full session prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
Reported: Oct 19
Questionable
Woodard recorded one solo tackle before his departure from the contest. It's unclear how bad the ankle injury is, and his status at the team's first practice of the week Wednesday will shed a better light on his status for Week 5 against Cincinnati.
Reported: Oct 04
Questionable
Rodriguez picked up an injury in Thursday's practice. With the Dolphins' Week 1 showdown with the Raiders set for Sept. 13, the middle linebacker should still be all set to suit up for the contest. The second-round rookie is currently slated to be the primary backup for Tyrel Dodson throughout the 2026 season.
Reported: Aug 28
Questionable
It's not yet clear if Proctor has cleared concussion protocol, but he should be ready to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Lions after missing Week 8 versus New England.
Reported: Nov 04
Questionable
Allen managed a full practice Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, so he may be on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation going into the weekend. Jaylen Wright is also questionable for Week 9, leaving starter Ollie Gordon as the only sure thing in the Dolphins' backfield ahead of Sunday's contest.
Reported: Nov 06
Questionable
Gordon has finally returned to practice without the non-contact jersey. The running back may be ready to go for Miami's Week 1 matchup with the Raiders on Sunday, but he could be held out as a precaution. The second-year pro is set to serve as the No. 3 option behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, meaning the Dolphins arguably have the luxury of giving Gordon an extra week to recover if necessary.
Reported: Sep 07
Questionable
Dulcich was also limited at Wednesday's practice, so the tight end likely needs to work fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Patriots without an injury designation. Dulcich has been targeted five times in each of his last two contests, a span in which he's logged a 9/123/0 receiving line.
Reported: Oct 29
Questionable
The rookie tight end previously dealt with a hamstring injury before injuring his quad in last Sunday's loss to the Lions. A block-first tight end, Kacmarek has four catches for 30 yards on nine targets across eight games this season.
Reported: Nov 11
Questionable
Back practicing with Miami this week for the first time since exiting a Sept. 20 loss to the 49ers due to an ankle injury, Douglas had his reps capped for the second day in a row. The wideout noted Wednesday that he's viewing himself as day-to-day at this stage of his recovery, and he'll likely need to upgrade to full participation at Friday's practice to head into Sunday's game against the Jets without a designation. If available to play this weekend, Douglas will likely slide back into a top-three role at receiver.
Reported: Oct 22
Questionable
This is likely just maintenance for Bell's surgically repaired knee. His role as the No. 3 wide receiver in Miami hasn't yielded much, with Bell drawing targets on just 16.7 percent of routes and catching only 44.4 percent of his targets. Things can't get much worse, at least from a statistical standpoint, with QB Kyle McCord replacing Malik Willis (abdomen) for at least the next four weeks.
Reported: Nov 11
Questionable
With Washington having now logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout will look to get back to full participation Friday to clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Though he leads the Dolphins in both receptions (26) and receiving yards (289), Washington is coming off a Week 7 outing against the Jets in which he drew a season-low three targets while Miami welcomed back promising rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (2-70-2 receiving line on three targets) from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.

After missing last Sunday's loss to the Lions, Wright figures to be back in as the lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon, though Wright has not produced when on the field this season. He's averaged 1,9 yards per carry on 22 attempts and is virtually a zero in the passing game.

Nov 10
Questionable
As anticipated, Miami elected to move Willis to IR after an MRI on Monday revealed that his lingering groin issue and developed into a more concerning core-muscle injury that would require some time off. Willis is expected to treat the injury with a regimen of rest and rehab, leaving the Dolphins optimistic that he'll be able to return to action before the end of the season. With his move to IR keeping him sidelined for at least the next four games, however, the Dolphins will move forward with second-year player Kyle McCord as their new starting quarterback in the interim.
Injured Reserve
This move was anticipated after Sieler suffered a ruptured biceps in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Lions. The veteran defensive tackle is scheduled for surgery and will finish his ninth NFL campaign with 24 tackles, including 2.0 sacks. Zeek Biggers, Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips could all take on more defensive snaps with Sieler sidelined for the rest of the season.
Nov 09
Nov 08
Out
After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Wright was able to get back to limited Thursday and maintain that activity level Friday, at which point he was tagged as questionable in advance of the weekend. On Sunday morning, however, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Wright wasn't expected to suit up, and that's now locked in. With Wright out of the lineup, Kaytron Allen (quad) and Carlos Washington will serve as the reserve RB options behind Ollie Gordon.
Questionable
Willis was back under 200 passing yards for the first time in three games, and he failed to throw at least one touchdown pass for the first time since Week 4. The 2022 third-round pick connected with seven different targets overall, and following the game, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reported that Willis was dealing with both groin tightness and a tight hamstring during the game. Willis and the Dolphins' Week 10 matchup is a Colts team that could trade away multiple key players before Tuesday's deadline.
Questionable
Kacmarek took a low hit after making a catch in the third quarter and subsequently went to the medical tent. He then returned to the sideline and tested out the injured leg, so he appears to be at least attempting to re-enter the contest. If Kacmarek can't return, however, Greg Dulcich and Seydou Traore will be Miami's two healthy active tight ends.
Nov 06
Questionable
Averaging just 1.9 yards per carry, Wright is unlikely to get more than a handful of touches off the bench if he's active this Sunday. Ollie Gordon has been dominating Miami's backfield work.
Questionable
Allen managed a full practice Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, so he may be on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation going into the weekend. Jaylen Wright is also questionable for Week 9, leaving starter Ollie Gordon as the only sure thing in the Dolphins' backfield ahead of Sunday's contest.
Questionable
Herring logged three consecutive limited practices during Week 9 prep. The defensive end is battling a neck injury he sustained in the Dolphins' Week 8 loss to the Patriots, but it is uncertain if he will be able to overcome the issue in time for Sunday's game.
Nov 05
Questionable
Wright has been battling various issues all season and hasn't been effective when on the field, yet he's still operating as the Dolphins' lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon. Wright is averaging a microscopic 1.9 yards per carry this season.
Nov 04
Out
Baker has been on the reserve/PUP list since Aug. 31 after suffering an undisclosed injury in July. The cornerback is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened and begin practicing at any point, but he doesn't appear to be healthy enough to do so yet.
Questionable
In addition to a foot injury, Wright was listed with the same quad issue on the Dolphins' Week 8 injury report but proceeded to log three full practices before playing in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots. Though he played just 13 total snaps before offense and special teams in Week 8, Wright apparently emerged from the contest with his quad injury still bothering him. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation prior to this Sunday's game against the Lions.
Questionable
It's not yet clear if Proctor has cleared concussion protocol, but he should be ready to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Lions after missing Week 8 versus New England.
Questionable
Allen played 16 snaps on special teams in Miami's 24-19 loss to the Patriots in Week 8, and he may have picked up a quadriceps injury in the process. The running back will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with Detroit.
Questionable
Herring was injured in Sunday's loss to the Patriots and didn't return to the contest. He's produced nine tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, across seven appearances this season.
Questionable
Kacmarek was limited at practice throughout the entire week before playing 19 offensive snaps and six snaps on special teams during the team's 24-19 loss to the Patriots in Week 8. The tight end may be set for a similar fate ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury.
Nov 03

Nov 01
Out
Wayne was limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions. He was a full participant Friday and didn't carry an injury designation for the Week 8 meeting with New England. However, despite being healthy enough to suit up, the wideout won't be on the field Sunday.
Questionable
Herring suffered a stinger during the first half, and his status for the remainder of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Rodney McGraw could stand to see an increase in opportunities at defensive end.
Oct 30
Questionable
Brents logged a full practice Friday, but he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be available for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Marcellas Dial and Jaylin Simpson would be the top candidates to start opposite Jason Marshall at outside cornerback if Brents is not cleared to play.
Out
Procotor entered the league's concussion protocol following the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, and he was unable to practice in any capacity during Week 8 prep. Jarrett Kingston and Christian Haynes are candidates to start at left guard in the absence of Proctor, whose next chance to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 8.
Questionable
Taylor suffered a quad injury in Week 4 versus Minnesota and hasn't played since. He began this week with a pair of limited practices, but an upgrade to full participation Friday has increased his chances of returning to game action against the Patriots. With that in mind, Taylor played exclusively on special teams in the three games he's suited up for this season, so a potential return wouldn't necessarily guarantee him snaps on defense.
Oct 29
Questionable
Dulcich was also limited at Wednesday's practice, so the tight end likely needs to work fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Patriots without an injury designation. Dulcich has been targeted five times in each of his last two contests, a span in which he's logged a 9/123/0 receiving line.
Questionable
Brents suffered a concussion this past Sunday versus the Jets and didn't practice at all Wednesday. His ability to upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign of progress, but the cornerback will still need to be cleared by an independent neurologist to be eligible to suit up Sunday against New England. Should Brents not get that clearance in time, Jaylin Simpson could be asked to step into a larger role in the Dolphins' secondary.
Questionable
With Washington having now logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout will look to get back to full participation Friday to clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Though he leads the Dolphins in both receptions (26) and receiving yards (289), Washington is coming off a Week 7 outing against the Jets in which he drew a season-low three targets while Miami welcomed back promising rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (2-70-2 receiving line on three targets) from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.
Oct 28
Questionable
Dulcich is making his first appearance of the season on Miami's injury report, but as long as he's able to practice fully by the end of the week, he should be ready to suit up Sunday against the Patriots. The fifth-year tight end turned in his best game of the season in the Dolphins' 28-25 win over the Jets in Week 7, recording five catches for 86 yards on five targets.
Questionable
Wayne may have picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, when he played 16 snaps (10 on offense, six on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown against New England. Wayne has not recorded a target in each of his last three outings after turning 12 targets into four catches for 65 yards through the first three games of the regular season as a member of the Texans.
Questionable
Brents reported concussion symptoms following the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, per Alain Poupart of SI.com. Brents will have two more opportunities to practice this week, but he would not be eligible to play against the Patriots on Sunday unless he's cleared from the league's concussion protocol by an independent neurologist.
Questionable
Proctor played all 65 of the Dolphins' offensive snaps in Week 7, but he suffered a concussion somewhere along the way. He'll now need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to return to game action. Until then, 2024 sixth-rounder Jarrett Kingston is a candidate to step up at guard.
Questionable
Washington is managing an injury as the Dolphins prepare for a matchup Sunday versus the Patriots, but his ability to practice in some fashion to begin Week 8 is at least a good sign. His availability is key for the Dolphins, as he's one of the most relied-upon pass catchers in the league with a 26.2 percent target share through six games.
Questionable
Kacmarek may have picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, when he logged 34 snaps (29 on offense, five on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. The rookie third-rounder will have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity before Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Oct 27
Oct 26
Oct 25
Questionable
Wright exited Miami's victory late in the fourth quarter with a quad injury. Wright filled a clear complementary role behind Ollie Gordon, and the former's health will be worth monitoring during Week 8 prep ahead of a home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday.
Out
Beal has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Week 3. The rotational defensive end continues to miss time but has not yet been placed on IR, meaning the team likely expects him to overcome the injury soon.
Out
Gay popped up on Thursday's practice report as a DNP due to an illness. He was able to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity, but his illness is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Jackson Woodard and Shaka Heyward are the top candidates to start alongside Jordyn Brooks and Jacob Rodriguez at linebacker. Gay's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Patriots on Nov. 1.
Oct 23
Out
Taylor did not practice at all during Week 7 prep. The cornerback remains sidelined with a quadriceps injury he suffered in the Dolphins' Week 4 loss to the Vikings. The depth piece for the team's secondary still has no set return timeline.
Oct 22
Questionable
Back practicing with Miami this week for the first time since exiting a Sept. 20 loss to the 49ers due to an ankle injury, Douglas had his reps capped for the second day in a row. The wideout noted Wednesday that he's viewing himself as day-to-day at this stage of his recovery, and he'll likely need to upgrade to full participation at Friday's practice to head into Sunday's game against the Jets without a designation. If available to play this weekend, Douglas will likely slide back into a top-three role at receiver.
Questionable
Wright played through this foot injury in each of Miami's last two games prior to a Week 5 bye. He'll likely suit up Sunday against the Jets but cede most of the carries to Ollie Gordon as the Dolphins continue to search for their first win of the season.
Oct 21
Questionable
The rookie wideout was able to get back on the field in some capacity for the first time since exiting a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. After a three-game absence, Douglas will likely need to turn in at least one full practice during Week 7 prep in order for the Dolphins to clear him to play Sunday against the Jets.
Questionable
According to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Wright looked good in practice despite having his reps managed. Wright has been battling a nagging foot issue for a chunk of the season but has been able to play in both of the last two games. Miami is coming off a Week 6 bye, so Wright should be closer to full health when the team faces off against the Jets this Sunday. He'll likely work in a complementary role behind Ollie Gordon, who averaged 7.0 yards per carry on 27 totes over the past two weeks following De'Von Achane's season-ending knee injury.
Injured Reserve
Louis progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be cleared to practice Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in his return. He'll likely need to log consecutive full practices before being activated from IR, but there's a chance that he is given the green light to play against the Jets on Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder's return would bolster the Dolphins' depth in the secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.
Questionable
Kacmarek is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury coming out of Miami's bye week in Week 6. The tight end will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
Oct 19
Questionable
Following their Week 6 bye, the Dolphins won't submit their first Week 7 injury report until Wednesday, but Douglas looks poised to be listed as something other than a non-participant in practice for the first time since injuring his ankle in a Sept. 20 loss to the 49ers. Given the length of his absence, Douglas will likely need to practice fully by the end of the week to have a good shot at suiting up Sunday versus the Jets, but if available, he could immediately reclaim a prominent role in the Miami passing corps. In his first two NFL contests, the rookie third-round pick notched seven receptions for 113 yards on 10 targets.
Questionable
Savaiinaea suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 5 loss to the Bengals, and his ability to practice in any capacity Monday is a positive sign. The offensive lineman will have a few more chances to log a full session prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
Oct 13
Oct 12
Oct 11
Questionable
The 2025 second-round pick exited in the second quarter of the contest. If Savaiinaea is unable to return, Jarrett Kingston will likely serve as his replacement at right guard.
Questionable
Brents had initially been labeled as questionable to return after leaving the game in the first half to receive evaluation for a concussion as well as the stinger. He was able to check back into the game to begin the second half, but he appears to have suffered an aggravation of the stinger. Brents tallied six tackles and one pass breakup prior to his most recent exit.
Out
Allen was claimed by Miami off the waivers Friday and will be unavailable for the team in Week 5. Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright (foot) are expected to lead the Dolphins' backfield.
Questionable
Taaffe exited the third quarter of Sunday's contest with a chest injury. The reserve strong safety's absence means that Julius Wood will have to fill in at strong safety if Dante Trader must leave the contest.
Oct 10
Out
Duck remains on the reserve/PUP list. After practicing in full this week, Duck will have a better chance to suit up in Week 7 following Miami's bye next week.
Oct 09
Out
With Douglas set to miss a third straight game, Miami again will trot out Malik Washington, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman as its primary three-receiver set.
Questionable
Wright missed Week 3 with a foot injury and stinger, before returning for Week 4 and splitting backfield work with Ollie Gordon early on. Gordon dominated snaps after breaking off a long run in the third quarter of the loss to Minnesota, and he was the favorite to take most of the carries this week even before Wright became a mid-week addition to the injury report. Wright is listed with a foot issue again, getting a questionable designation after limited practices Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, the Dolphins claimed RB Kaytron Allen off waivers Friday, giving them another option in the backfield.
Out
Joly landed in concussion protocol after Wednesday's practice and was unable to participate in the Dolphins' Thursday or Friday sessions. The tight end remains in concussion protocol and will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game.
Out
Beal will miss a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 2 against the 49ers. The Dolphins are on a bye for Week 6, so he'll have additional time to rest before Week 7 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Oct 08
Questionable
Douglas hasn't practiced or played since hurting his ankle in Week 2 against the 49ers. The rookie third-round pick is trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Bengals, though Douglas could gain at least a glimmer of hope to play by returning to practice Friday.
Questionable
Wright practiced without limitations Wednesday but took a step back Thursday. He missed Miami's Week 3 loss to the Chiefs due to a foot injury but returned in Week 4 against the Vikings. Wright was outplayed by Ollie Gordon against Minnesota, and Gordon is likely in line to get the majority of rushing opportunities Sunday against the Bengals, regardless of Wright's status.
Out
Duck hasn't played all season. He returned to practice ahead of the Week 4 loss to Minnesota, though he didn't suit up. However, after logging full practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, it appears the 25-year-old is trending favorably toward getting on the field Sunday versus the Bengals.
Oct 07
Questionable
With Douglas still unable to practice after missing Miami's last two games, his status for Week 5 against the Bengals remains in question. Head coach Jeff Hafley's said the rookie wideout is doing better, but starting the week with a DNP is an ominous sign for his availability against Cincinnati. Malik Washington, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman soaked up most of the wideout snaps last Sunday against Minnesota and would be in line to do so again if Douglas is unable to return.
Questionable
Bell will likely continue to be limited in practices until the Dolphins are willing to fully unleash him following last season's torn ACL. While he's had his reps managed during the week, Bell has been seeing extensive snaps on Sundays, especially since Caleb Douglas has been out with an ankle injury. Bell has reeled in just five of 14 targets this season for 92 yards.
Injured Reserve
The 2025 first-round pick spent the first four weeks of the season on injured reserve while recovering from what had been referred to as a leg injury before the Dolphins' Week 5 injury report revealed Wednesday that he was more specifically tending to a toe issue. Grant's return to practice is a sign that he's close to making his season debut, which could come as soon as this Sunday versus the Bengals. The Dolphins will have until Week 8 to add Grant back to the active roster, or else he'll have to remain on IR for the rest of the season.
Oct 06
Oct 05
Questionable
Trader suffered a knee injury during Sunday's 15-10 loss to Minnesota, and he was briefly sidelined before returning to action. The safety registered five total tackles (three solo) during the contest, and his status at Wednesday's first practice of the week will shed more light on his availability for the team's matchup with the Bengals in Week 5.
Out
Taylor suffered a quad injury in the first half of the Dolphins' Week 4 loss to the Vikings and did not return to the contest. With the Dolphins on bye in Week 6, Taylor should have a good chance to regain his health ahead of a Week 7 road divisional matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Oct 04
Questionable
Woodard recorded one solo tackle before his departure from the contest. It's unclear how bad the ankle injury is, and his status at the team's first practice of the week Wednesday will shed a better light on his status for Week 5 against Cincinnati.
Oct 02
Injured Reserve
Grant opened the season on injured reserve and can return at any point after Sunday's Week 4 date with the Vikings, but his 21-day practice window has yet to open. The 2025 first-rounder was injured late in the summer during the preseason. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season, recording 33 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.
Sep 30
Out
Duck was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins have until Oct. 21 to return the cornerback to the active roster, or the team will need to keep the 25-year-old on the reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Sep 28
Injured Reserve
Achane's move to injured reserve was merely a formality after head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed earlier Monday that the running back would be lost for the season after sustaining an ACL tear in his left knee during Sunday's 24-10 loss to Kansas City. With Achane out of the mix for the rest of 2026, the Dolphins are left with Jaylen Wright (foot) and Ollie Gordon as the lone running backs on the 53-man roster.
Sep 27
Out
Cook will once again be the emergency QB3 behind Malik Willis and Kyle McCord. As such, Cook is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Willis and McCord leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Doubtful
Achane lasted a shade more than four minutes of game time before he exited with what eventually was termed a knee injury, which didn't allow him to return. Hafley's comments indicate Achane is very likely dealing with a serious health concern, but in the wake of Sunday's contest, the team lacks clarity regarding a diagnosis and prognosis. If Achane needs to miss time, Jaylen Wright (foot), who was inactive Sunday, and Ollie Gordon (20 touches for 55 total yards and one TD) would be the immediate candidates to fill in in Miami's backfield.
Out
Wright was considered doubtful for this contest after missing practice Friday due to a foot issue and a stinger. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 4 against the Vikings. In the meantime, Ollie Gordon could see more involvement behind De'Von Achane.
Sep 19
Injured Reserve
Harrison was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers due to his injury. The linebacker suffered the hamstring injury during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Raiders and has been unable to practice since the incident. Harrison will now need to miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster.
Sep 18
Out
Robinson likely suffered his concussion in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. The third-year defensive end out of Penn State will not clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time for the Week 2 game against the 49ers, which would make a Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 27 his next opportunity to retake the field.
Sep 16
Questionable
Robinson likely sustained the injury during the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders in Week 1, when he logged one assisted tackle and played 42 defensive snaps. Even if he logs a full practice over the next two days, Robinson would need to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist to exit the league's concussion protocol and be available for Sunday's road tilt against the 49ers.
Injured Reserve
Louis is set to miss a few weeks due to the knee injury he suffered in last Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders. The Dolphins' defensive back will need to miss at least four games before he can return from IR. With Louis sidelined, Dante Trader is set to be the starting strong safety for the team.
Sep 14
Out
Louis suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders, and he will now be sidelined for at least one contest moving forward. The rookie logged three snaps on defense and 14 snaps with the special-teams unit before his departure in Week 1, and his absence will likely have little impact on the team's defensive approach versus San Francisco.
Sep 13
Questionable
It's unclear whether the injury is to the same hamstring that limited Harrison's practice participation this past week. He did not log a tackle prior to his exit, and Jackson Woodard is the remaining depth option at linebacker for as long as Harrison is out of the game.

Sep 07
Questionable
Gordon has finally returned to practice without the non-contact jersey. The running back may be ready to go for Miami's Week 1 matchup with the Raiders on Sunday, but he could be held out as a precaution. The second-year pro is set to serve as the No. 3 option behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, meaning the Dolphins arguably have the luxury of giving Gordon an extra week to recover if necessary.
Sep 01
Injured Reserve
Sims was waived/injured by Miami on Monday, and he shifted over to the team's IR after not being claimed. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four games, though it's possible that he reaches an injury settlement with the Dolphins, allowing the Baylor product to sign and play with a team once fully healthy. Sims appeared in 11 regular-season games between the Packers (three games) and Vikings (eight games) in 2025, finishing with three catches (on six targets) for 30 yards.
Aug 31
Out
Baker suffered an undisclosed injury in July, and he was sidelined for the entirety of training camp and the preseason. Head coach Jeff Hafley stated in late July that the cornerback will likely be out until midseason, and the earliest he can return from the reserve/PUP list is Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 11.
Injured Reserve
Grant sustained a leg injury in mid-August, and he will now be sidelined for at least four games to open the regular season while on IR. In his absence, Jordan Phillips and Zach Sieler (undisclosed) will likely handle the lion's share of the workload at defensive tackle for Miami.
Out
Duck spent the entirety of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list as he continues to nurse a knee injury that he suffered in October. The cornerback will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 11.
Injured Reserve
Moore suffered an ankle injury in the team's second preseason contest against the Giants on Aug. 22, and he was unable to appear in the team's preseason finale against the Falcons on Friday. The rookie fourth-round pick will now be forced to sit out the first four games of the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'll be able to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 11. In Moore's absence, Ronnie Harrison (hamstring) and Kyle Louis are candidates to see an increase in workload as reserve options at outside linebacker.
Aug 29
Questionable
Kacmarek did not play in Friday night's preseason finale against the Falcons. The rookie third-rounder played in the first two preseason games for the Dolphins, catching his sole target for three yards. The tight end is set to be the No. 2 option behind Greg Dulcich once the former regains his health.
Aug 28
Questionable
Rodriguez picked up an injury in Thursday's practice. With the Dolphins' Week 1 showdown with the Raiders set for Sept. 13, the middle linebacker should still be all set to suit up for the contest. The second-round rookie is currently slated to be the primary backup for Tyrel Dodson throughout the 2026 season.
Aug 27
Injured Reserve
The tight end was waived/injured by Miami on Wednesday. Now that he has cleared waivers and moved to IR, Turner will need to reach an injury settlement with the Dolphins to have a chance to play in 2026. The former Titan and Commander has 13 catches for 143 yards and no touchdowns across three NFL seasons.
Aug 26
Questionable
Grant is currently labeled as week-to-week by coach Jeff Hafley. The 2025 first-rounder suffered the leg injury in mid-August. While Grant may not be able to start Week 1, fellow defensive tackle Zach Sieler (undisclosed) should be good to go. If Grant cannot play, Jordan Phillips will likely start next to Sieler against the Raiders.
Aug 25
Aug 23
Questionable
The injury is a minor one, as head coach Jeff Hafley relayed Sunday that Gordon would have been cleared to return had it been a regular-season game. Gordon's practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, as it will indicate whether the 2025 sixth-rounder will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons. He is competing against Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane.
Questionable
Harrison likely picked up the injury during the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday. He's battling for a depth spot on the 53-man roster, and his hamstring injury puts him in jeopardy of being cut by the Dolphins at the end of training camp.
Aug 19
Aug 10
Questionable
McCloud served as a reserve defensive back for the Packers in 2025, recording 27 total tackles (18 solo) and two passes defensed over 15 regular-season games. The Dolphins are currently extremely low on secondary depth due to injuries to Storm Duck (knee), Darrell Baker (undisclosed), Lonnie Johnson (leg), Omar Brown (undisclosed) and JuJu Brents (undisclosed). McCloud has a strong opportunity to compete for a 53-man roster spot throughout the preseason.
Aug 07
Out
It doesn't seem likely, given that Bell remains on the Non-Football Injury list through the first week of August. He'll presumably ease into practice once he's activated, and there would still be some chance of opening the regular season on an injury list. Still, it's a good sign that Bell's head coach isn't ruling out the possibility of a preseason appearance. The rookie third-round pick should get playing time at some point this year, though perhaps not early on.
Jul 28
Out
Baker joined the Dolphins in March as a healthy defensive back, but an unknown injury popped up in late July. With Storm Duck (knee) also set to return midseason, the team will be thin on defensive backs for opening day. JuJu Brents, Jason Marshall, Alex Austin and the remaining healthy defensive backs will have a chance to start Week 1 if they show out in training camp and the preseason.
Out
Duck was placed on the active/PUP list last Thursday with a persistent knee injury he suffered last October. The cornerback will seemingly be unable to participate in any training camp or preseason activities, and the Dolphins will need to rely on depth options such as JuJu Brents for opening day.
