While the Miami Dolphins will keep a watchful eye on their talent for the remainder of this week to see which of their banged up players will be healthy enough to play on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the team will also need to keep a close eye on their Week 5 opponent to see which of their players are going to miss the contest as well. For as banged up as Miami feels right now with WR DeVante Parker, LT Austin Jackson and CB Byron Jones (among others), the 49ers have been torn to shreds with injuries.
They may be getting some of that talent back this week, but they’ll be missing plenty more than the Dolphins. Would it be enough to tip this game in Miami’s favor? Here is an updated snapshot of where San Francisco’s injured talent is.
Definitely Out
- Defensive end Nick Bosa
- Defensive lineman Solomon Thomas
- Defensive end Dee Ford
- Center Weston Richburg
- Running back Tevin Coleman
- Tight end Jordan Reed
- Wide receiver Jalen Hurd
Bosa, Thomas, Ford and Richburg are prominent losses for the 49ers. With Miami’s left tackle situation up in the air, the 49ers not having three of their top threats on the edge will be a big boost for Miami’s offensive aspirations against San Francisco.
But wait, there’s more!
