Dolphins suffer surprising loss as cornerback is ruled out during game vs Bills

The last thing Miami Dolphins fans want to hear is that one of their defensive players can't return to an important game, like the one against the Buffalo Bills where they're looking for a much-needed victory.

The Miami Dolphins finished the first half of their game against the Buffalo Bills tied 14-14. While there were some good passes from Tagovailoa, there was also the unfortunate news that Jason Marshall Jr. will not return to the game to continue trying to contain the rivals.

Following the report from Alain Poupart, the Dolphins will have to play the rest of the game without Marshall Jr. They will also have to face whatever news about the player’s health comes out after the game, something that could be either good or bad.

It’s not only dangerous to lose someone like Marshall Jr., but the Dolphins also saw Jack Jones collide with the Bills’ Dalton Kincaid in the same game, a dangerous play that cast doubt on the player’s health.

What Would the Dolphins Lose with Marshall Jr.?

In the event that Marshall Jr. cannot play for a few weeks due to some kind of injury, the Dolphins would likely be without a key piece for their defense. Although he is not a veteran and is just making his NFL debut, any absence on defense is a weak point for the Dolphins, who are now 0-3 on the season.

To make things worse, the Dolphins have two other injured cornerbacks. ā€œMiami is already playing without cornerback Storm Duck (ankle) and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu (calf). Cornerback Cam Smith is on the non-football injury list,ā€ reported Ryan Miller of the Ithaca Journal.

The next games will be key. The Dolphins’ defensive coordinator will have to find a way to move forward without these players, especially knowing there is a lot of desperation to get out of the current losing streak.
