Forward of Sunday’s 1 p.m. kickoff on the Baltimore Ravens, the Miami Dolphins made their Saturday roster transfer to fill the void left by proper sort out Austin Jackson’s placement on injured reserve.
Sort out Larnel Coleman was elevated from the Dolphins’ follow squad to the game-day roster, the staff introduced.
Together with Coleman, the Dolphins elevated receiver River Cracraft and introduced tight finish Hunter Lengthy didn't journey with the staff to Baltimore and has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s matchup.
Coleman, the 2021 seventh-round decide, had his probability this coaching camp to earn a spot on the 53-man lively roster. After an uneven camp and preseason, Miami opted to maintain Greg Little as its backup swing sort out.
Little, who entered final Sunday’s 20-7 win over the New England Patriots in reduction of Jackson following his second-quarter proper ankle harm, will doubtless be counted on to start out in Baltimore.
The Dolphins needed to make a transfer so as to add at the very least one offensive lineman as a result of, getting into Saturday, they have been under the game-day minimal requirement of eight lively linemen. With Jackson’s placement on IR, which can trigger him to overlook at the very least the subsequent 4 video games, the staff was right down to seven.
Miami elevating only one lineman might bode properly for veteran left sort out Terron Armstead, who enters Sunday questionable to play with a toe harm.
Ought to one other harm happen to an offensive sort out towards the Ravens, the Dolphins might insert Colemen, however their subsequent contingency plan is extra more likely to contain a shift out to sort out for both left guard Liam Eichenberg or proper guard Robert Hunt with Robert Jones coming in at guard.
Final Saturday, the Dolphins used their practice-squad elevations on Cracraft and security Verone McKinley. NFL groups can elevate as much as two practice-squad gamers to the lively roster per sport. In 2022, gamers can get the decision up 3 times over the course of the season, up from two final yr.
Together with Armstead, defensive sort out Christian Wilkins (again), extensive receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (toe) and working again Salvon Ahmed (heel) are questionable for Sunday. Tight finish Cethan Carter (concussion) is out.
