In case you ever questioned if the Miami Dolphins are actually cursed, look no additional than the final 20 years couple of weeks and the accidents which have transpired.
Final week, it was the secondary who sustained one harm after one other. Now, a vital harm to the offensive line might hinder issues for Mike McDaniel’s offense early on within the 2025 season.
In keeping with NFL Community’s Cameron Wolfe, the Dolphins count on Austin Jackson to overlook a number of ‘weeks’ with an harm to his decrease extremity. The hope is that he will probably be able to go for Week 1’s matchup vs. the Colts, however should you’re a fan of the group, you understand how this story ends.
This isn’t the primary time Miami has been with out its beginning proper sort out.
Final yr, Jackson was positioned on injured reserve after the Dolphins’ 23-15 Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He would get surgical procedure on his knee and miss the rest of the season after beginning eight video games for the group.
In 2022, Jackson missed 15 video games with a number of accidents however bounced again in 2023. He signed a three-year extension with the Dolphins in December of 2023 value $36 million, with $13M of his deal assured.
In his absence, the group will look to discipline the most effective alternative out of a secure of veteran tackles, together with 2025 FA signing Larry Borom, Kion Smith, and Ryan Hayes this preseason. Nonetheless, if the group does have to enter Week 1 with out Jackson, the group will probably let the most effective man play, as McDaniel has preached “the most effective 5 gamers” would play because the starting of his tenure. Who which may be is anybody’s guess. However I believe I’d want to see what Kion Smith can do over the veteran Borom or Hayes.
EDIT 3:51 PM EDT::: I used to be simply mowing the grass and remembered that second-round choose Jonah Savaiinaea has performed a ton of snaps at each left and proper sort out. IDK in the event that they wish to break up the tandem of Patrick Paul and Savaiinaea however I positively needed to point out him. Additionally, right here’s a movie breakdown I did on him many months in the past. Get pleasure from 🙂
Both method, it feels just like the season is slowly beginning to come undone, simply as quick because it’s approaching. And but, I nonetheless can’t assist however be over-the-moon excited for soccer to be again. And though I most likely shouldn’t — I’ve just a little little bit of hope for what the season would possibly convey,
