Dolphins elevate LB Melvin Ingram from practice squad for game vs. Ravens
The Dolphins have elevated linebacker Melvin Ingram from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Baltimore Ravens.
It’s the second of three elevations allowed this season for Ingram, who made his season debut against the Cowboys last week.
Ingram, who spent the 2022 season with Miami and signed to the practice squad earlier in the month, played 21 defensive snaps and recorded two tackles in the team’s 22-20 win against Dallas.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Ingram played well despite only being back with the Dolphins for a couple of weeks.
“Not bad considering the circumstances,” Fangio said. “He’s only been here a little bit, hadn’t played any ball since last season. I think Melvin is an instinctive player. Football comes natural to him. But he hadn’t played. I think the more he gets in the football shape, the better he can play.”
The Dolphins did not elevate an offensive lineman, a sign that Lester Cotton, Liam Eichenberg and Austin Jackson, all of whom are listed as questionable to play, will be active. Right guard Robert Hunt is doubtful to play because of a hamstring injury.
Miami also did not elevate a defensive back, which means safety Jevon Holland and cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Jalen Ramsey will likely play despite being listed as questionable.
