Miami Dolphins rookie left guard Kadyn Proctor is unlikely to play in Week 8 home game against the New England Patriots, due to a concussion, coach Jeff Hafley said.
Proctor experienced symptoms after a Monday press conference with local reporters.
Jarrett Kingsley has been next in line. Kingsley played pretty well when replacing Jonah Savaiinaea in a recent games.
The offensive line has been the strongest part of Miami’s game in a 1-5 start. Proctor has been excellent and has not allowed a sack.
Miami has topped 100 rushing yards in five consecutive games.
Miami signed guard Christian Haynes after he was waived by the Seahawks this week. Haynes is a former third-rounder from UConn with NFL experience.
Miami cut sixth-round rookie guard DJ Campbell and re-signed him to their practice squad.
Dolphins cornerback JuJu Brents, unlike Proctor, did some practice in the week leading up to the Patriots game. There is some progress and if Brents is cleared, he’ll play, according to coach Hafley.
Other Dolphins on the injury report this week have included: WR Malik Washington (knee), S Dante Trader (shoulder) and S Michael Taaffe (neck/foot), who has practiced in a limited capacity.
Hafley said he expects players who have been limited to be avaialable against New England.
Quarterback Malik Willis (groin) and running back Jaylen Wright (foot/quad) have had full participation in practices.
The Patriots have a key injury to monitor as wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) was held out of a practice three days before kickoff.
