Due to absences from practice, two Miami Dolphins stars are doubtful for the Patriots game in Week 8.
The Miami Dolphins (5-2) are hurting after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night in a number of ways.
Miami is feeling this more than just not being able to play the defending Super Bowl runners-up, as evidenced by their most recent injury report.
Raheem Mostert, a running back, and star wide receiver Tyreek Hill both missed practice on Wednesday due to injuries. Going up against the division foe New England Patriots on Sunday is now doubtful for both.
Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle responded, “That’s above my pay grade,” when asked if he thinks Hill will miss Sunday’s game against New England. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, meanwhile, hinted that it’s a genuine possibility.
What the latest Miami Dolphins injury news means
This is clearly a big deal for the Dolphins, who are now in first position.
In as many games this season, Hill has hauled in 53 receptions for 902 yards and seven touchdowns. With 2,190 receiving yards, the All-Pro is currently on pace to surpass Calvin Johnson’s single-season NFL record.
After seven weeks, Mostert leads the league with 11 touchdowns and 625 total yards gained. With Miami’s star running back De’Von Achane presently on injured reserve, he has assumed most of the touches.
Should Mostert be unavailable to face New England, Jeff Wilson will be moved up to the position of RB1. This past Sunday marked his return from a season-long absence; he played just seven offensive snaps and touched the ball once. The veteran gave good performance following his
In the event that Tyreek Hill is unavailable, the previously stated Waddle will have to fill in. Due to a back issue, he had to leave the game early last week and has not performed as well as he did last season. In 2022, the former first-round selection caught 75 passes for 1,356 yards. In six games this season, he has gained 359 yards. Waddle also missed a week of action due to a concussion early in the season.
Naturally, as soon as information about the health of both Miami Dolphins stars becomes available, we will provide it. For the time being, head coach Mike McDaniel and company are not happy about this.
