Miami Dolphins Noah Igbinoghene could see significant playing time on Sunday.

There is no guarantees that Igbin plays a lot this weekend and that really will depend on the health and availability of Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. Both are nursing issues. Jones was listed on the injury report as having an Achilles injury but he was only limited in practice. Howard has been recovering from a knee injury a year ago and there is speculation he may find himself limited this week.

This all means that Igbinoghene could see increased action on Sunday. The coaches have had him working slot, corner outside, and even forward safety through camp. He has embraced the multi-faceted instruction and has made it clear he will play wherever the coaches want him to.

On Sunday, he could see a lot of opportunity and if he does, pay attention to how he is being used because it may simply be a view of what’s to come.
