The Miami Dolphins have had a bunch of moving parts all season, as they’ve been dealing with injuries nearly every week.
On Tuesday, the Dolphins placed left guard Isaiah Wynn on injured reserve.
Wynn, 27, had been playing really well in his first year in Miami before suffering a quad injury early in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during Sunday Night Football.
Lester Cotton stepped up in Wynn’s place on Sunday, but it will be interesting to see if Robert Jones makes a push to be the starter for the next four games.
To fill Wynn’s spot on the roster, the Dolphins activated cornerback Nik Needham, who had been on the PUP list since training camp, as he recovered from the torn Achilles he suffered last season.
Needham’s 21-day practice window was set to expire on Wednesday, and if Miami hadn’t activated him, he would’ve been forced to miss the remainder of the season.
There’s no clarity on whether or not Needham will see the field this weekend against the New England Patriots, but it would be nice to see him get into action again after he was playing well before his injury in 2021 and early in 2022.
