The Miami Dolphins find themselves in a challenging offseason following a subpar 2024 season, ending with an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs. With a tight budget, the team is currently $2.6 million over the projected salary cap, a significant shift from last year when they started $51.9 million over. The situation is exacerbated by the recent $212.4 million extension for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, which increases his cap hit to $39.44 million.

In addition to managing Tagovailoa's lucrative deal, the Dolphins will have to make critical decisions regarding their own free agents, such as safeties Jevon Holland and Jordan Poyer, along with multiple guards and defensive players. The team may have to look for economical options in free agency to fill the roster's gaps, especially in light of potential retirements among veteran players.

The Miami Dolphins released their first injury report ahead of their Thanksgiving night matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Six players were marked as DNP due to various injuries, including Terron Armstead and Tyus Bowser. Notably, head coach Mike McDaniel indicated that Kendall Fuller and Anthony Walker Jr. are unlikely to play.

Meanwhile, the Packers also provided an injury report with five players listed as DNP, including star cornerback Jaire Alexander. Both teams face challenges as they prepare for the upcoming game.

The Miami Dolphins have made significant roster changes ahead of their Thanksgiving night matchup against the Green Bay Packers, most notably activating guard Isaiah Wynn from the Reserve/PUP list after his recovery from a quad injury.

To accommodate this move, the team waived guard Lester Cotton and replaced long-snapper Tucker Addington with Zach Triner on the practice squad. While Wynn's return raises questions about his starting position, it is unlikely he will play this week due to the short preparation time.

The Miami Dolphins will have left tackle Terron Armstead available for their upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders, despite him being questionable due to a knee injury.

Armstead did not practice during the week following the Dolphins' Monday night victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Meanwhile, cornerback Kendall Fuller is ruled out with a concussion, and fullback Alec Ingold will miss his second consecutive game due to a calf injury. Left guard Robert Jones, who was also questionable, is active.

With Armstead and Jones on the left side, the Dolphins are only missing one starter on the offensive line, as right tackle Austin Jackson is out for the season with a knee injury.

The Miami Dolphins are preparing for their Week 11 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders with some injury concerns. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey is set to play despite a knee issue, while left tackle Terron Armstead's status remains uncertain as he has been listed as questionable due to ongoing knee problems.

Other Dolphins players, including fullback Alec Ingold and guard Robert Jones, are also questionable. Meanwhile, the Raiders will be without starting cornerback Nate Hobbs and center Andre James, among others, as they look to bounce back against Miami.
