Avert your eyes: Five Dolphins starters inactive for Chargers game

The following players are inactive for the Miami Dolphins’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium:

Dolphins: WR Albert Wilson, WR Allen Hurns, S Bobby McCain, CB Jomal Wiltz, RB Myles Gaskin, C/G Keaton Sutherland, G/T Jesse Davis.

Chargers: QB Easton Stick, K Michael Badgley, WR Travis Benjamin, RB Justin Jackson, WR Mike Williams, TE Hunter Henry, TE Virgil Green.

What it means: The Dolphins will start their fourth different offensive tackle of the season — and that doesn’t include Laremy Tunsil, who was traded a week before the opener. And reminder: We’re only in Week 4. The Dolphins did not announce lineup changes pre-game, but options at left tackle with Jesse Davis out are Andrew Donnal, Michael Deiter and Isaiah Prince. (UPDATE: The starting lineup, from left to right, in warmups was J’Marcus Webb, Michael Deiter, Daniel Kilgore, Evan Boehm and Isaiah Prince.) There’s a similar disaster looming at slot cornerback, with both Bobby McCain and Jomal Wiltz out. Options there include Johnson Bademosi, Chris Lammons and Ken Webster. More bad news: Albert Wilson will miss his third straight game with a calf injury, suggesting a big role for Isaiah Ford. Meanwhile, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is active just three days after ending his holdout. If he plays, however, it will be in a limited capacity.
