The Los Angeles Rams are struggling right now. The Rams were playing like they didn’t want to score. A couple of drops, some turnovers, and many other mistakes killed the Rams offense. So much so that they didn’t score in the first quarter of the game. They scored two field goals in the first half, but no touchdowns.
While the Miami Dolphins scored early in the first quarter, their spark died down very quickly. Both teams were playing tough-nosed football. In doing so, the Miami Dolphins cornerback, Kendall Fuller got injured.
Per Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald, “Kendall Fuller got hurt. Walked off the field. Cam Smith is the replacement.” Fuller got hurt on the tackle and might have suffered a concussion. They took him to the medical tent soon after, diagnosed him, and ruled him out for the rest of the game due to a concussion.

Shortly after the injury, the Miami Dolphins’ X handle posted the update, saying, “Injury Update | Kendall Fuller is in concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.” Fuller has entered the concussion protocol for the second time this season.
He missed the week 4 games against the Tennessee Titans due to a concussion. Fuller has recorded 19 solo tackles in the season so far and prior to this, he was playing with the Commanders.

With injuries piling up, can the Dolphins maintain their momentum this season?
Have an interesting take?
By the time Fuller left the game, Miami was up by 10-6, but the defense did a pretty good job of holding off Matthew Stafford, who didn’t do a great job throughout the first three-quarters of the game. The defense sacked the Rams QB 4 times by the time the 3 quarter ended. Unfortunately, the Miami Dolphins sustained one more injury on the same play. Kendall Fuller got hurt.

Miami Dolphins left guard Robert Jones also suffered an injury on the same play. He got tangled up in the huddle. He fell and landed in an awkward position. It looked like there was something wrong with his knee as it looked a bit bent. Lester Cotton, who usually plays right guard, replaced Jones. The Dolphins suffered 3 injuries in the game in total.

The third player who went down was Kendall Lamm, the Dolphins right tackle. He supposedly injured his right hand. Patrick Paul briefly replaced Lamm, but Lamm soon returned to the field. Reportedly, his injury wasn’t that serious.
