Dolphins will be down 2 more linebackers for Sunday's game vs. 49ers
The Miami Dolphins will meet the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon, but they'll be thin at both off-ball and on-ball linebacker.
The Miami Dolphins faced further injury setbacks this week, with the team announcing that linebacker Chop Robinson will miss their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a concussion. Joining Robinson on the injury list is rookie linebacker Ronnie Harrison Jr., who will be sidelined with a hamstring issue. Quarterback Malik Willis and safety Dante Trader Jr. are expected to play fully in the Sunday matchup, while tight end Seydou Traore will be limited in his participation.
The Dolphins have a roster of six linebackers available, including Joshue Uche, Robert Beal Jr., and Malik Herring. They could also call up Clelin Ferrell, Mac Llewellyn, and Rodney McGraw if needed. The absence of Kyle Louis and Trey Moore, both on injured reserve, leaves Miami with Jordyn Brooks, Jacob Rodriguez, Jackson Woodard, and Willie Gay Jr. as their remaining off-ball linebackers.
If Ronnie Harrison Jr. cannot play, long snapper Tucker Addington is likely to take over that role on Sunday, though the team may sign an additional player if necessary.
