Before the Miami Dolphins take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, they made three moves that will affect their roster.
The team announced Saturday that they would be placing defensive back Elijah Campbell on injured reserve. Campbell was out of practice all week due to toe and knee injuries and will now be forced to miss at least three games.
In the same announcement, the team also elevated cornerback Javaris Davis and safety Sheldrick Redwine from the practice squad. Davis, a second-year player, seems to be a potential replacement for Campbell on special teams. He has yet to play a snap in the NFL, so this may be an opportunity for him to show he can contribute in that role.
Redwine can also appear on special teams, as he played a decent amount during his time with the Browns and Jets. His elevation may also be related to safety Brandon Jones’ injury status, as he was listed as questionable on Friday.
Hopefully, this is more of a precaution than an indicator of Jones’ health.
