Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel met with the South Florida media on Monday morning and addressed various injury questions surrounding his ball club. While Miami got good news regarding right tackle Austin Jackson — who should be back in the lineup soon — another injured offensive lineman did not get the same vote of confidence regarding his return from injury from his head coach.

When discussing starting right guard James Daniels, McDaniel told reporters that he was not certain, one way or another, whether Daniels would return to game action during the 2025 NFL season.

Miami Dolphins favorites over New Orleans Saints in Week 13

Two wins and a bye.

Reasons for skepticism – The Splash Zone 11/24/25

The Miami Dolphins got to enjoy their football Sunday from their couches as they had their bye week. The team entered their bye on a two game win streak and hope to build off of that momentum when the take on the New Orleans Saints this upcoming Sunday.
