The Miami Dolphins injury report for Week 3 has some good news on Chop Robinson, but it spells trouble for the wide receiver room.
The Miami Dolphins are preparing to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3, and the team's initial injury report points to a major issue.
While the Dolphins got some big news on edge Chop Robinson, the wide receiver room has appeared to take a major hit.
The full report is as follows:
| Player | Injury | Wednesday Participation |
|---|---|---|
| EDGE Rob Beal Jr. | Hamstring | DNP |
| WR Caleb Douglas | Ankle | DNP |
| LS Tucker Addington | Shoulder | Limited |
| WR Chris Bell | Knee | Limited |
| CB JuJu Brents | Knee | Limited |
| WR Ryan Miller | Hip / Back | Limited |
| WR Jaylen Wright | Stinger / Foot | Limited |
| CB Chris Johnson | Shoulder | Full |
| EDGE Chop Robinson | Concussion | Full |
| TE Seydou Traore | Thumb | Full |
As stated, Robinson practiced in full, and that is a huge indication that he will be ready to go after missing Week 2.
During practice ahead of Week 2, Robinson suffered a concussion and was placed in the protocol. Players must pass certain benchmarks to ensure they can take the field, which has apparently now been the case for the edge.
Dolphins Injury Report Concerns
One of the biggest concerns on this injury report is at wide receiver. Two of the proposed Dolphins starters have appeared on the report.
It was known that Caleb Douglas is dealing with an injury, as he rolled on during Week 2, and was seen in a walking boot following the game.
Douglas has now been established as dealing with an ankle injury, and he missed practice. Head coach Jeff Hafley did not indicate whether or not the rookie would be able to play against the Chiefs.
Hafley did state that they would see how Douglas advances day by day, so he could be upgraded with enough time to take the field.
The other concern is fellow rookie and starter Chris Bell is dealing with a knee injury and has been limited. If he continues to be limited and is ruled out alongside Douglas, this would put the Dolphins offense at a big loss.
Additinally, Week 3 standout Ryan Miller was also limited due to a hip and back injury. Miller caught the lone touchdown of the day in Week 2, as Malik Willis connected with him deep on a 77-yard score.
Long snapper Tucker Addington is also still dealing with a shoulder injury, which led Miami to bring in Luke Basso to the practice squad to act as insurance in case Addington cannot play.
Cornerback JuJu Brents was also limited due to a knee injury, and that does point to the Dolphins having tried out multiple defensive backs on Tuesday.
This is the first injury report, and all of the limited and players who did not practice could certainly be upgraded in time to play in Week 3. However, the Dolphins could be facing a tough challenge if a good number of those injured players cannot take the field.
