The Miami Dolphins are preparing to take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Highmark Stadium, but they’ll be without three solid contributors.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that linebacker Jaelan Phillips and wide receivers Erik Ezukanma and River Cracraft will not play this weekend.
Buy Dolphins TicketsPhillips is dealing with an oblique injury, and he’ll likely be replaced by Andrew Van Ginkel, who previously filled in for the former first-round pick against the New England Patriots.
Ezukanma and Cracraft are two of Miami’s depth options behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Their absence means Braxton Berrios will be more involved, and there’s a strong possibility that Robbie Chosen is elevated from the practice squad, as he was last week.
This game was already going to be difficult for the Dolphins, and things have gotten even tougher.
