Impact Poyer missed one game due to injury, Week 5 against the Titans, but while healthy the 33-year-old safety was essentially an every-down player for the Dolphins. He operated as one of the more reliable aspects of Miami's secondary in 2024, despite not displaying much left in the tank as a true playmaker, and concluding the year without any INTs or sacks. The veteran safety will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Impact Poyer also missed the Dolphins' first practice last week with the knee and finger issues, but he was ultimately able to suit up for Sunday's win over Cleveland. Miami must win its Week 18 game against the Jets in order to have any chance of making the playoffs, so Poyer is likely to do everything he can to be on the field. If he can't suit up, though, Elijah Campbell would likely start in his stead.

The veteran safety was sidelined for Miami's Week 5 game against New England due to a shin injury but has missed only one defensive snap over 10 contests since. If Poyer ends up being unable to play Sunday, Elijah Campbell could be asked to handle a significant role in the secondary.
