Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders injured, not kicking vs. Jaguars

The Miami Dolphins might need some kicker help.

Jason Sanders sustained an injury that has kept him out of the Dolphins’ preseason finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He eventually went back into the locker room.

It’s unclear what happened or when the injury occured. Punter Jake Bailey has handled kickoff as well as field goal duties.

The 51-yard field goal that Bailey attempted near the end of the second quarter fell way short.
