Sieler, Kohou among most notable inactive Dolphins for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals
Starters Kader Kohou and Zach Sieler highlight the list of inactives for Sunday’s Miami Dolphins matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Other inactives include Jeff Wilson, Tanner Conner, Mo Kamara, Andrew Meyer and Storm Duck.
Coach Mike McDaniel ruled out Kohou and Sieler on Friday. Kohou has a neck injury while Sieler fractured his orbital bone after being poked in the eye during practice, according to the NFL Network. The absence of Sieler, who appears to be en route to likely his first Pro Bowl selection, is a huge loss on a defense that ranks number one in third down defense.
“That threat in the middle makes the quarterback to have to get the ball out quick and forces the coverage to be a lot shorter,” safety Marcus Maye said of Sieler. “Losing him is a big blow and we know Kyler likes to scramble and run around and things like that so we just have to be able to cover for longer.”
On the bright side, the Dolphins will have Tua Tagovailoa at QB1 for the first time since Sept. 12. His presence — both in the locker room and on the field — has been a huge boost to everyone, especially Tyreek Hill.
“When Tua is a part of this offense, can’t nobody stop us, bro,” Tyreek Hill said Wednesday, just minutes after exclaiming that he and Tagovailoa connected on a deep ball in practice. “We should score every day. That’s the way I look at it. We’ve got too much talent.”
Hill, who was listed as questionable with a foot injury heading into Sunday’s game, will suit up.
