For the first time in what seemed like forever, the Miami Dolphins came out of a contest without an abundance of injuries.
However, they didn’t make it through their win over the Chicago Bears completely unscathed, as head coach Mike McDaniel informed the media on Monday that tight end Hunter Long has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol.

The second-year tight end played just 12 total snaps (six offensive and six on special teams) on Sunday. He’s yet to have a target in McDaniel’s system.
If Long is forced to miss time, the Dolphins will continue to rely on Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, but undrafted rookie Tanner Conner, who has been playing mostly on special teams, could see a bump in his opportunities as well.
