Dolphins place an offensive lineman on the reserve/COVID list

He’s the eighth Dolphin to be added to the list in just over a week.

The Miami Dolphins have been dealing with COVID issues in their locker room in the last two weeks, and those issues aren’t stopping now.

Offensive lineman Robert Jones is being placed on the reserve/COVID list on Wednesday, as the team reported.

The rookie played in his first offensive snaps since Week 2 on Sunday against the Jets when he got 10 opportunities. With the line solidified for the year, he got some chances as an extra offensive lineman which helped Miami’s big day on the ground.

It’s unclear what Jones’ vaccination status is, but if he’s vaccinated he will be able to return from isolation after just one negative test. With the deadline to activate him for this Monday night matchup with the Saints four days away, there is a chance Jones could be back in time.
