Zach Sieler - Officially placed on IR The Dolphins placed Sieler (biceps) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact This move was anticipated after Sieler suffered a ruptured biceps in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Lions. The veteran defensive tackle is scheduled for surgery and will finish his ninth NFL campaign with 24 tackles, including 2.0 sacks. Zeek Biggers, Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips could all take on more defensive snaps with Sieler sidelined for the rest of the season.

Kyle McCord - New starting QB in Miami McCord will step in as the Dolphins' starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game at Indianapolis after Miami placed Malik Willis (core) on injured reserve Tuesday, Cameron Wo...

Impact A 2025 sixth-round pick of the Eagles, McCord will be making his NFL debut Sunday, after he had been active for each of the 1-7 Dolphins' first eight games but didn't see any playing time behind Willis. Before landing with the Dolphins in a trade prior to Week 1, the 24-year-old signal-caller looked sharp during preseason action as a member of the Packers, completing 46 of 70 passes for 446 yards and a 4:0 TD:INT while adding 16 yards on five carries over three games. Expectations should still be held in check for McCord in his first regular-season action, especially while he'll be working with one of the NFL's weaker collections of skill-position players. The Dolphins are optimistic that Willis will be able to return from IR before the end of the season, but McCord should be primed for at least a four-game run as the team's starter while Willis is sidelined.

Kyle McCord will step in for Willis as the Dolphins' new starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Zach Sieler - Requires season-ending biceps surgery Sieler ruptured his biceps during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions and will require season-ending surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Sieler reportedly sustained the injury on the Dolphins' first defensive play of the game and proceeded to play with the ruptured biceps throughout the contest. The standout defensive lineman will likely undergo surgery in the coming days and will face a projected 5-to-6-month recovery timeline, which could limit his availability for OTAs in the spring. The 31-year-old Sieler finishes the 2026 campaign with 24 tackles (14 solo) and 2.0 sacks over his eight appearances with Miami.

Zane Gonzalez - Reverts to practice squad Gonzalez reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Miami has now used the maximum three standard elevations on Gonzalez, and he's made jus5 five of seven field-goal attempts and all five PATs across three games. The Dolphins will need to sign the kicker to the active roster if he's going to keep kicking for the team moving forward.

Kaytron Allen - Long catch on fake punt Allen caught a 46-yard pass in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions. He rushed one time for minus-one yards.

Impact Allen's catch came on a fake punt, so it was obviously extremely fluky. He played just six offensive snaps behind clear RB1 Ollie Gordon. Since joining Miami via waivers last month, Allen has logged 31 snaps on special teams and six on offense. He has no fantasy appeal.

Zane Gonzalez - Converts three FGAs in loss Gonzalez went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Gonzalez was elevated to the active roster for the third straight week, and he made multiple field-goal attempts for the second game in a row. The kicker converted a 34-yard field goal in the first quarter before he hit the right upright and missed a 38-yarder as time expired in the first half. Gonzalez rebounded well in the second half, adding makes from 52 and 34 yards. The Dolphins will now have to officially sign Gonzalez to the active roster in order for him to appear in another game with the team this year.

Greg Dulcich - Quiet in loss to Detroit Dulcich caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Entering play Sunday, Dulcich produced 13 grabs for 166 yards over his previous three games, but he took a big step back against Detroit on a day Malik Willis didn't have any answers, as he passed for just 128 yards. Dulcich doesn't catch touchdowns and plays in a low-volume, low-scoring offense, making him more of a TE2 headed into Week 10 against the Colts.

Malik Washington - Two receptions in loss Washington caught two of three targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Washington was held in check by Detroit's suspect secondary, failing to reel in at least three passes for the first time this season while his 21 receiving yards were also a season low. The wide receiver has yet to exceed 70 receiving yards in a game this year, and he has only reached the end zone once. Washington will have an opportunity to get back on track against the sputtering Colts in Week 10.
