Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey sat out Thursday practice and the team is preparing contingencies for the star defensive back being unavailable Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On Thursday, defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said Ethan Bonner and Storm Duck would get more reps in the event that Ramsey doesn’t play, although he wasn’t quite ready to say that will happen.

Ramsey was the only Dolphins player who didn’t practice Thursday. The team also had three players limited, including starting defensive tackle Benito Jones.

While listed as limited again due to a hand injury, Aaron Brewer told reporters in the locker room that he’ll play Sunday. That’s a boon for an offensive line that is lacking in depth.
The potential loss of Ramsey is costly, but the significant improvement in the report from Wednesday is a positive because the Jaguars are dealing with very little on the injury front. Backup safety and special teamer Daniel Thomas was the only player listed on the team’s injury report Wednesday and Thursday.
