Dolphin’s View:

The Fins continue to slowly climb into their Week 3 game. I have them estimated with a score of 23.00, up 3.00 points from Week 2. Still within a good range. In 2025, their score was 39.75 so they are definitely on a better trend this season in terms of health.

Damages By Position:

QB: Don’t worry about it

OL: Don’t worry about it

Skill Positions: WRs Chris Bell (knee) and Ryan Miller (hip/back) look good to go, WR Caleb Doublas (ankle) has been ruled out. RB Jaylen Wright (foot) is questionable and TE Seydou Traore (thumb) looks good to go.

DL: Starting DT Kenneth Grant is on IR. The rest of the main DL is healthy.

LB: EDGE Robert Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out while EDGE Chop Robinson has cleared the concussion protocol.

DB: CB Juju Brents (knee) and CB Chris Johnson (shoulder) look good to go.

Opponent’s View:

The Chiefs come to town after squeaking out an OT win over the Colts. They are slightly more banged up than the Fins, but not by any impressive amount. I have them rated 25.00 for this game, up slightly from their 24.50 in Week 2.

They are more stifled on defense than offense right now, especially in their secondary

Damages By Position:

QB: Mahomes is still listed on his knee after an ACL/LCL injury last year but he has been going full go every day.

OL: Starting LT Josh Simmons (back) is out and backup Kahlil Benson is taking his reps. The rest of the OL is healthy.

Skill Positions: Starting WR Rashee Rice (knee) is good to do. All the other players look great.

DL: Backup DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah (quadricep) and starting DT Chris Jones (calf) are both doing well.

LB: Starting LB Cooper McDonald is on IR. Backup Jack Cochrane (calf) is ready.

DB: Starting CB Chamarri Conner (knee) is questionable for the game. Starting CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee) is good to go as well as backups DB Jadon Canady (knee), CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder), and DB Jaden Hicks (bicep) are ready to go.

I’ll be rooting for a classic “any Sunday” broken here! I’ll follow up after the games on the Post Game Injury Report with more information now that we’re getting a few weeks worth of data.
