Miami Dolphins Handed Big Injury Blow Ahead of the Patriots Game

In a season largely successful, the Miami Dolphins have found a few thorns on their side. Their recent submissive performance against the Philadelphia Eagles was a notable mention. But probably none of them could prove to be as big as this one. Ahead of the week 8 Patriots match, the team has updated their injury report. And a few names are guaranteed to shock people.

The Dolphins started the season with a few brutal offensive displays this season, among their best ever. But with time, it has been losing sharpness. That was satisfactory, however, until very recently, as they are deemed to lose two of their most important names now due to injury.

Miami Dolphins ‘unspecified’ on two key names

The Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill combination has rocked the opposition’s defenses this season. More often than not, the duo proved to be too much to handle. Running back Raheem Mostert has not been far behind yet as he has accounted for 5 touchdowns, the highest in the league, and fifth most rushing yards.

But the Dolphins’ latest injury report has rocked the fans with its inclusion of wide receiver Hill and Mostert. Both of them were unavailable in Thursday’s practice session ahead of the practice game. Besides featuring on the Dolphins’ team website, NFL aggregator Dov Kleiman has shared the news on X (Twitter).

Tua Tagovailoa will have a hard time digesting that he will miss the service of his two biggest assets. And the quarterback has addressed it too.

How will it affect the Miami Dolphins?

In the press conference after the practice session, Tagovailoa addressed the news. He said, “You know, you can’t sleep on. If we couldn’t have Tyreek, that would be tough but the show goes on. You gotta continue to play, and somewhere down the line, we’re gonna get Tyreek Back. It has to be one of those things where you never let your foot off the gas and you don’t lose that rhythm as a team.” Clearly, it will be tough demand for the quarterback.

He also added that their best rusher Mostert could be out of the zone too, which could be a really big challenge for the Dolphins against a Motivated Patriots. In a season 2-5, the Patriots have nothing left to lose, and Belichick has his 300th victory in the pocket.

It’s often at such desperate times when failure alludes, and the Dolphins wouldn’t want to get dragged down by desperation for a successive time. The match will be live on Sunday, 29 October from Gillette Stadium.
