INJURIES

Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins active for the Bengals against the Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were both active and set to play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins
OCTOBER 11 • Associated Press
Why Kenneth Grant's Dolphins return could be the key to Miami's first victory The Miami Dolphins are desperate for their first win of the 2026 season, and the return of Kenneth Grant may be exactly what they needed.
OCTOBER 11 • PHINPHANATIC.COM
Removed from IR, available Sunday The Dolphins activated Grant (toe) from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Grant opened Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, so Grant's activation from IR means he'll be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut. The 2025 first-rounder figures to operate in a rotational role at defensive tackle behind Jordan Phillips and Zach Sieler.

Kenneth Grant's return from IR still leaves his Dolphins availability in question The Miami Dolphins have opened Kenneth Grant's return window, but there is cautious optimism about his availability for Week 5.
OCTOBER 8 • PHINPHANATIC.COM
Practice window opens The Dolphins designated Grant (toe) for return to practice from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact The 2025 first-rounder was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Grant's 21-day practice window has now opened, meaning if the Dolphins do not return the defensive tackle to the active roster by Oct. 28, he will spend the rest of the 2026 season on IR.

OCTOBER 2 • Associated Press
Could practice next week Head coach Jeff Hafley said Friday that Grant (leg) could begin practicing next week, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Grant opened the season on injured reserve and can return at any point after Sunday's Week 4 date with the Vikings, but his 21-day practice window has yet to open. The 2025 first-rounder was injured late in the summer during the preseason. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season, recording 33 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

SEPTEMBER 2 • PHINPHANATIC.COM
Opening season on IR Grant (leg) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Sunday with a designation to return.
Impact Grant sustained a leg injury in mid-August, and he will now be sidelined for at least four games to open the regular season while on IR. In his absence, Jordan Phillips and Zach Sieler (undisclosed) will likely handle the lion's share of the workload at defensive tackle for Miami.

Kenneth Grant's IR stint opened a well-earned opportunity for Dolphins' standout The Miami Dolphins trimmed their roster to 53 on Sunday, but in that process, made the decision to sideline Kenneth Grant for 4 games.
AUGUST 31 • PHINPHANATIC.COM
Week-to-week with leg injury Grant (leg) could miss the Dolphins' opening game against the Raiders, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
Impact Grant is currently labeled as week-to-week by coach Jeff Hafley. The 2025 first-rounder suffered the leg injury in mid-August. While Grant may not be able to start Week 1, fellow defensive tackle Zach Sieler (undisclosed) should be good to go. If Grant cannot play, Jordan Phillips will likely start next to Sieler against the Raiders.

AUGUST 20 • PHINPHANATIC.COM
Labeled week-to-week by coach Grant (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact The 2025 first-rounder is sidelined for the time being as the regular season approaches in just under a month. Grant's absence coincides with Zach Sieler's week-to-week issue, which puts a spotlight on Miami's interior defensive line depth for the remainder of training camp.

APRIL 21 • MIAMIDOLPHINS.COM
Room for growth after rookie year Grant tallied 33 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2025. He also had one pass defensed.
Impact Grant, a 2025 first-round pick, struggled early in his rookie season but showed some flashes down the stretch. Despite his improvements late in the year, the former Michigan standout never quite developed into a reliable starter for Miami's interior defensive line, with his struggles against the run being especially disappointing considering Grant's six-foot-three, 335-pound frame. If Grant is able to take a step forward in his development under new head coach Jeff Hafley this offseason, though, he'll have clear path to opening 2026 as a starter alongside Zach Sieler.
