The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for their crucial Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, but it’s been a busy day of roster changes and injury updates.
Star receiver Tyreek Hill, still officially listed as questionable, is a game-time decision. The team has shown confidence in their receiving corps by avoiding any practice squad moves but did activate River Cracraft from injured reserve. Known for his reliable routes and solid hands, Cracraft could surprise fans tonight with a bigger impact than the Rams’ Odell Beckham Jr.
However, the big story is the absence of starting right tackle Austin Jackson, who’s sidelined with a knee injury and will miss at least four weeks after being placed on injured reserve. Kendall Lamm, a seasoned backup with plenty of starting experience, is set to fill in without any anticipated drop-off in performance. The real concern lies in the Dolphins’ limited depth if Lamm sustains any injuries himself.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins promoted long snapper Tucker Addington to the active roster, though he’s likely a temporary solution with Blake Ferguson expected back next week. As Miami faces this pivotal game, they’re just 1.5 games shy of the wild-card spots, making tonight a must-win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
