The Dolphins are placing two of their offseason additions on IR. Head coach Brian Flores told reporters that defensive back Jason McCourty and running back Malcolm Brown are heading to injured reserve.
Both players were injured during yesterday’s loss to the Falcons. McCourty suffered a foot injury that could require surgery, meaning he could be out longer than three weeks. Brown suffered a quad injury that forced him to exit the game.
After spending three seasons with the Patriots, McCourty joined the Dolphins this offseason. He started the first four games for Miami, but he’s seen a reduced role in recent weeks, appearing in only 69 defensive snaps between Week 5 and Week 7 (for comparison’s sake, he saw time in 70 defensive snaps in Week 4). Through seven games, the 34-year-old has collected 21 tackles and two passes defended. The Dolphins somewhat started planning for McCourty’s absence when they signed safety Sheldrick Redwine off the Panthers’ practice squad today.
Brown joined the Dolphins this offseason after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Rams. The 28-year-old got into the first seven games for Miami (including three starts), collecting 135 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 36 touches. The Dolphins will continue rolling with Myles Gaskin atop the depth chart, but Salvon Ahmed could see a larger role while Brown is sidelined.
Flores. Trade Tua to the 49’ers for Jimmy G. Both of you come from the NE Patriot system and it may be good for you both. The 49’ers can then go with Lance as they plan to while Tua is back up and the FINS get a QB who is and was so good, Brady wanted him traded from New England. The Texans are asking way to much for Watson and he may/or may not get suspended depending on the outcome of the investigations. The AFC East is where Jimmy started and he will give the Patriots fits for sure.
As long as the Fins give up two 1st rounders plus take on Tua’s contract and send money to offset Lance contract then it’s a deal.
Yeah, I think it would be picks going the other way
Will make no difference whatsoever , we , as a dolphins fan , suck
