Breaking down the final Miami Dolphins Week 8 injury report

The Miami Dolphins ruled out two players based on their final injury report from Week 8 ahead of their game against the Arizona Cardinals. Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill were also questionable, albeit under very different circumstances.

We’ll start with Tagovailoa, who head coach Mike McDaniel said has already cleared the concussion protocol. He will start against Arizona, which is only listed as questionable because he remains on injured reserve until activated Saturday, and NFL rules require such a listing.

The news is not so positive for Hill, who is struggling with a foot injury and did not train on Friday.

Hill’s name was added to the injury report Thursday when he was listed as a limited participant.

Good news for the Dolphins’ other starting wide receiver: Jaylen Waddle was removed from the injury report and was not given a game status designation.

The same went for Jevon Holland and Emmanuel Ogbah, who missed the Week 7 loss in Indianapolis with hand and biceps injuries, respectively. Similarly, guard Liam Eichenberg (shoulders) was removed from the injury report after practicing fully on Friday.

The two players ruled out Friday were CB Kader Kohou (neck) and DT Zach Sieler, whose eye injury could require surgery.

Quarterback Tyler Huntley was removed from the injury report on Friday, but that’s because the Dolphins placed him on injured reserve (IR) due to his shoulder injury.

The Cardinals ruled out three players on Friday, along with starting linebacker Dennis Gardeck, who was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.

Excluded were DL Roy Lopez (ankle), CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck) and DL Darius Robinson (personal/calf).

Lopez started at nose tackle for the Cardinals in their 17-15 win against the LA Chargers on Monday night.

Murphy-Bunting is the player whose tackle caused Hill’s ankle injury last season when Murphy-Bunting was a member of the Tennessee Titans.

Robinson, Arizona’s second of two first-round picks in the 2024 NFL draft, has yet to play this season.

The only other Cardinals player with a game status designation is tackle Kelvin Bechum, who is dealing with a groin injury. He was a full participant after practice after not working Thursday.

Rookie first round pick Marvin Harrison, Jr. was added to the injury report on Friday due to a knee injury. Still, he was listed as a full participant and was not given a game status designation.
