    Miami Dolphins Injury Update: Latest on Jevon Holland, Jalen Ramsey, Odell Beckham Jr., and Others

    Published on

    Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel provided several key injury updates Wednesday, shedding new light on Jalen Ramsey and Jevon Holland, among others.

    MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins have a big practice Thursday. So their best players barely practiced Wednesday.

    With the Washington Commanders coming to town for a joint practice and preseason game, roughly a dozen starters did not participate in Wednesday’s sweltering session. Many were given veteran rest days. Many, however, had actual injuries.

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel earlier in the day gave updates on a bunch of them, including clarity on two big names who have been banged up all week: Defensive backs Jalen Ramsey and Jevon Holland.

    When Will Miami Dolphins Get Back Jalen Ramsey, Jevon Holland?

    McDaniel said Holland, who last week got dinged up during a collision with Kendall Fuller (who also didn’t practice Wednesday), is “just working through something minor. And he has been involved. He’s a big part of what we do. He’s been involved each and every day.

    “And we’re just making sure that we’re reminding him appropriately. And he’s working with the training staff, and it would be a day-to-day situation for him.”

    McDaniel added that “we’re being proactive with Jalen on something he’s dealing with to make sure that he is full tilt as we know he loves to be. It’s a Jaelan Phillips-like battle with the training staff and Jalen Ramsey. All good things. You’ll see them [soon].”

    Those injuries have helped make for a very thin secondary.

    Jordan Poyer has been dealing with a thumb injury for multiple weeks and did not practice Wednesday. Ethan Bonner is reportedly dealing with a head injury. Cam Smith is still working his way back from an issue that kept him out multiple practices, although he did team drills Wednesday.

    As for Benito Jones, who has also missed multiple practices including Wednesday’s, he’s “day-to-day,” per McDaniel.

    The Dolphins, meanwhile, continue to slowly ramp up tackle Terron Armstead. He didn’t work Wednesday but did do some 11-on-11 work for the first time this camp earlier in the week.

    “Good work really across the board,” McDaniel said of Armstead. “You’re trying to find that fine line of keeping the players’ comfort level in playing but minding their body and their experience and utilizing that as a resource.

    “So it’s been going outstanding. He is in a great spot from a health perspective. We plan on doing everything we can to make sure that stays the course, and he’s been as involved as any player.”

    Two final notes on the Dolphins offensive players on the physically unable to perform list.

    Odell Beckham Jr. still is not at a point where he can run routes due to an undisclosed injury that predates his time with the Dolphins. But McDaniel said he “wouldn’t have a level of concern. I think that as the process goes, you have to put one foot in front of the other. And what you don’t want, and what I know Odell doesn’t want, is getting on the grass and then leaving it.”

    “.. His teammates know that he’s working hard because he shows them every day as he gets back on the field where he knows that, you know, he didn’t sign up for football to be in meetings. Even though my meetings are super entertaining, I don’t think that was the case. So he’s working his way back to be on the field, which is what everyone wants.”

    Then there’s guard Isaiah Wynn, who hasn’t played since injuring his quad last October.

    Asked if his absence this summer is related to that injury or a new one, McDaniel said:

    “[It’s] just compounding stuff once in a while that you just want to make sure is fully healthy,” McDaniel said. “It’s lower extremity related, and I’ll really leave it at that.”
