The Dolphins officially will not have running back Raheem Mostert, who injured his chest in the season opener. It will be his third missed game after playing only 31 snaps against the Jaguars in Week 1. Mostert was questionable to return after limited practices all week.
Oh, the heartache! The Dolphins also won’t have linebacker David Long (hamstring). He, too, is inactive after being given a doubtful designation. Long did not practice all week.
Injury Woes Add Up
They join quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), left tackle Terron Armstead (concussion), and cornerback Kendall Fuller (concussion) on the sideline. Tua is on injured reserve, making the situation as dire as a dry coastal desert.
More Missing Pieces
The Dolphins’ inactives besides Armstead, Long, Mostert, and Fuller are linebacker Mohamed Kmara and quarterback Skylar Thompson. Thompson is the emergency third quarterback.
Titans Tackle the Challenge
The Titans are not dodging their share of troubles either. They won’t have defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who was doubtful with an elbow injury after not practicing all week. However, there’s a bit of sunshine as cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who was questionable, will suit up.
The Titans’ other inactives besides Simmons are defensive back Julius Wood, linebacker James Williams, offensive tackle Jaelyn Duncan, tight end David Martin-Robinson, tight end Thomas Odukoya, and outside linebacker Ali Gaye.
