2 Dolphins land on COVID list ahead of Monday night game vs. Saints
The Dolphins placed wide receiver Albert Wilson and reserve offensive lineman Solomon Kindley on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, likely sidelining both for Monday night’s road game against the New Orleans Saints.
Wilson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday for personal reasons but returned Friday. He’s played in 13 games with five starts this season, recording 25 receptions for 213 yards.
Kindley hasn’t played on offense since starting the first two games of the season. He’s the third offensive lineman, all reserves, to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, joining Robert Jones and Greg Mancz.
Eight Dolphins are currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list: Wilson, Kindley, Jones, Mancz, cornerback Justin Coleman, tight end Cethan Carter, linebacker Duke Riley, and wide receiver Lynn Bowden, who is also on injured reserve and out for the season.
The Dolphins previously elevated wide receiver Tommylee Lewis and center as COVID-19 replacements.
Meanwhile, the Saints placed four more players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, increasing the number of their players sidelined by coronavirus protocols to 20. Four Saints assistant coaches, including former Dolphins assistant and current New Orleans special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi, are also expected to miss Monday’s game because of coronavirus protocols.
