The Dolphins have a lot of injuries considering it’s Week 1. Fourteen players are on Thursday’s practice report, with the additions of defensive back Elijah Campbell (knee) and offensive lineman James Daniels (ankle). Campbell and Daniels were limited after not being on the report Wednesday. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique/calf), running back De’Von Achane (calf), safety Ashtyn Davis (calf) and wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) remained limited. Tight end Darren Waller (hip), cornerback Ethan Bonner (hamstring) and running back Jaylen Wright (knee) did not practice a second consecutive day. Cornerback Storm Duck (hip), tight end Julian Hill (shoulder), offensive lineman Austin Jackson (toe), safety Ifeatu Melifonwu (hamstring) and safety Dante Trader Jr. (hamstring) were full participants. Jackson was limited on Wednesday.
So frustrating, every year we come out of the gate battling numerous injuries and at the end we're limping across the finish line. It's ridiculous.
I feel pretty strongly that when Flores took over, the team started copying the Patriots "list the whole team" on the report every week, no matter how minor. And then it didn't change when McDaniel was hired. They're also very reluctant to let fans and the media know when guys are out for the season with injuries suffered after the games start too.
