The Miami Dolphins have been bitten by the injury bug early this year, with several players sidelined throughout the preseason and into Week 1. Now, as they head into a Week 2 contest against the New England Patriots, it seems injuries are still impacting them. Four starters have been ruled out for Sunday’s game, according to the team’s Friday injury report.
The Dolphins will be without cornerback Storm Duck (ankle), tackle Austin Jackson (toe), defensive tackle Benito Jones (oblique), and tight end Darren Waller (hip). All four were ruled out of the game after missing all practices during the week.
Cornerback Ethan Bonner (hamstring) and running back Jaylen Wright (knee) were both listed as doubtful for the game. That brings Miami’s total to six players who are likely not going to be able to play on Sunday.
Safety Ashtyn Davis (knee) was listed as questionable. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was included in the injury report during the week, but was not given a game status, indicating he will be available for Sunday.
The Patriots’ side of the injury report included ruling out cornerback Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) and defensive end Keion White (illness). Tackle Morgan Moses (foot) and linebacker Marte Mapu (neck) were both questionable.
The Dolphins and Patriots kick off on Sunday from Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium at 1 p.m. Eastern.
