Countless injury updates surface on Dolphins as they prepare to battle Rams

The Miami Dolphins provided updates on the statuses of a number of their players with a few days separating the team from its next game against the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 11.

For one, head coach Mike McDaniel said that safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Kader Kohou are operating with the goal of playing against the Rams.

Kohou hasn’t played for the Dolphins since the team lost to the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 20. As for Holland, he missed Miami’s most recent bout against the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 3.

Additionally, linebacker Bradley Chubb — who has yet to make his season debut with the Dolphins after he suffered a torn ACL against the Baltimore Ravens a season ago — won’t return to practice this week.

But on the bright side, the Dolphins have designated rookie safety Patrick McMorris to return after he was placed on injured reserve not long before the start of the campaign.

McMorris marks the fourth of eight players that the Dolphins are allowed to bring back from injured reserve this season.

Miami could soon be in jeopardy of running low on those those remaining spots, as McDaniel indicated that the Dolphins will eventually bring back quarterback Tyler Huntley as well. Huntley was placed on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury against the Colts last month.

Huntley filled in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa adequately for a short stretch. He started three games for the Dolphins earlier on in the season, and he was Miami’s starting signal-caller when the team picked up its latest win, which came against the New England Patriots on Oct. 6.

Dolphins tackle Austin Jackson wasn’t seen during the media-viewing portion of practice on Thursday. It’s unclear why. A few other players also weren’t seen, possibly due to rest.

A couple of other updates were also provided on others.

The Dolphins can snap their three-game losing streak with a much-needed victory over the Rams. So long as Miami’s defense plays better than it has in each of the team’s last two contests, the team should have a puncher’s chance to come out on top.
