Dolphins rule out DeShon Elliott, Rob Hunt vs. Jets
The Miami Dolphins are holding their final practice of the week on Friday, as they prepare for their matchup with the New York Jets on Sunday.
However, before practice, head coach Mike McDaniel spoke to the media and informed reporters that safety DeShon Elliott and right guard Robert Hunt won’t play this week.
Elliott remains in concussion protocol while Hunt continues to deal with a hamstring injury.
Miami may also be without their other starting safety, Jevon Holland, this weekend, meaning Brandon Jones and Elijah Campbell could be the duo in the backend with Nik Needham helping out.
What the offensive line will look like is also completely up in the air, as left tackle Terron Armstead, right tackle Austin Jackson and backup center/guard Liam Eichenberg have been limited in practice. There’s a real chance that the Dolphins end up starting Lester Cotton and Robert Jones at guard and one of the freshly signed veterans (Jonotthan Harrison or Matt Skura).
