The Miami Dolphins reported 10 players on their first injury list of Week 10 as they prepare for Sunday’s road game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. The team’s injury concerns come after a 19-9 defeat to the Detroit Lions at Hard Rock Stadium last Sunday.
On Wednesday, Miami held its first practice at the Baptist Health Training Complex, after which the injury report was released. Two players did not take part in practice: center Aaron Brewer, who is dealing with a concussion, and tight end Will Kacmarek, sidelined with a quad and knee issue. Both are new entries on the injury list this week.
Four players participated in practice on a limited basis. Long snapper Tucker Addington is managing a shoulder injury, wide receiver Chris Bell has a knee problem, cornerback Darrell Baker Jr. is also dealing with a knee issue, and defensive end Malik Herring is recovering from a neck injury.
The Dolphins listed four players as having full participation despite recent injuries. Running backs Kaytron Allen and Jaylen Wright both returned to full practice after quad injuries. Safeties Michael Taaffee and Dante Trader Jr. also practiced fully, with Taaffee overcoming a wrist concern and Trader Jr. managing shoulder and groin complaints.
Miami’s injury report suggests the coaching staff will have to make adjustments, particularly on the offensive line and at tight end, as Brewer and Kacmarek remain out. The team’s recent loss to Detroit exposed some vulnerabilities that might be exacerbated by these absences.
The Colts, who have held their own in this AFC matchup, will be looking to exploit any weaknesses. Miami’s injury update offers little clarity on whether Brewer or Kacmarek can return for the game, leaving their availability uncertain as the week progresses.
The Dolphins’ injury situation remains fluid, with limited practice participation for several players indicating ongoing recovery efforts. The team’s medical staff and coaches will likely monitor conditions closely over the next few days to decide who will be ready for Sunday’s kickoff.
