Jevon

Holland

Hill was labeled a true game-time decision after missing practice Friday and Saturday with a wrist injury, ultimately proving enough in pre-game warmups to warrant active status for the team’s Week 10 contest against the Rams. Also active for the Dolphins is safety Jevon Holland, who came into Monday listed as questionable. Inactive for the Dolphins are FB Alec Ingold, RB Jeff Wilson, Jr., CB Ethan Bonner, CB Storm Duck, LB Mohamed Kamara, OL Andrew Meyer, and WR Dee Eskridge.

Holland will likely be marked as a limited participant for Friday. Jackson also notes Holland’s current knee injury is unrelated to the bilateral MCL sprains Holland suffered last year. On one hand, the fact that Holland avoided re-injury is a good thing. On the other, this is another knee issue on Holland’s health record.

Despite Mike McDaniel’s early-week assurances, Holland never had a shot at playing in Week 9. He failed to practice all week, as did slot CB Kader Kohou who was likewise ruled out. The Dolphins’ short-staffed secondary will have a difficult time stymieing the Bills’ talented pass catchers.

Mike McDaniel has done his best to assuage concerns over Holland’s most recent knee injury Holland’s knee injury history should not be thrown out. The talented safety sprained both MCLs in Week 12 last year and was slowed by the injuries even after returning in Week 17. The Dolphins need all hands on deck for their bout with the Bills in Week 9.

Holland suffered his injury early in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals and did not return to the field. The fourth-year safety may be at risk of missing a game or two, but it doesn’t sound like there’s anything of great concern going on here. Holland has totaled 26 tackles, two pass breakups, and one forced fumble on the year.

Holland went down with the knee injury early and immediately left for the medical tent. He was initially listed as questionable to return but was downgraded to out at halftime. Holland has two pass breakups and a forced fumble across five games this year.

Holland is dealing with a broken bone in his hand. He was limited in practice throughout the week but is not going to suit up on Sunday. The limited sessions suggest he could return as early as Week 8, though the veteran safety may be forced to play with a club on his hand until it fully heals. He has two pass breakups and one forced fumble this season.

Holland is pushing to play this week but would likely do so with a club on his hand. It was previously reported that he is expected to miss some time, so this is already a promising start to the week for him. Holland has two pass breakups and a forced fumble this year.

Holland’s absence is a brutal loss for the Dolphins’ struggling defense. The unit has surrendered 24 explosive pass plays this season, tying for 10th-most in the NFL. The Dolphins are on bye in Week 6 but face the Colts in Week 7. Expect Shane Steichen to attack the unit’s downfield coverage.

Howard also missed Week 18 with the foot injury and has been unable to get on the field at all this week for practice. In addition to Howard being out, the Dolphins also ruled both safeties DeShon Elliott and Jevon Holland as questionable for the game. While that’s obviously better than being ruled out, neither player has been able to practice this week, which makes their status for Saturday night truly up in the air. As a result, the Dolphins could be without three of their four starters in the secondary while heading into Arrowhead to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
