Dolphins leave 2 players nearing return on IR for Week 11

The Dolphins didn’t do any roster tinkering Saturday and ruled two players out.

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn and safety Patrick McMorris are both staying on injured reserve and have been ruled out for a Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Both Wynn and McMorris have returned to practices and were listed as questionable for Sunday, but have been downgraded to out on the team’s injury report. It’s an expected decision for the Dolphins after head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that a move to the active roster was unlikely for either player.

“I think it’s a more likely week-by-week,” McDaniel said. “But I think that’s more likely a possibility in the next coming weeks than this week.”

Wynn, 28, joined the Dolphins in 2023 after beginning his career with the New England Patriots as a first-round pick in 2018. He earned starting left guard duties with Miami, but suffered a season-ending quad injury after playing in seven games.

The Dolphins have turned to Robert Jones to handle left guard duties so far in 2024 with veteran utility lineman Liam Eichenberg at right guard.

McMorris, 23, was a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft and had strong moments in preseason before he was sidelined with a foot injury.
