Dolphins inactives list for Week 8 game against Cardinals
By Brian Miller
As expected, Tyreek Hill is active for the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. He will play. But the team has ruled out three players due to injury.
The pressure on the Dolphins will be high at Hard Rock Stadium today when they host the Arizona Cardinals. Two players were ruled out this week on defense, putting more pressure on the return of Tua Tagovailoa.
Prior to the weekend, the Dolphins ruled out defensive tackle Zach Sieler and cornerback Kader Kohou.
Kohou is dealing with a neck injury. Sieler was dealt a blow in practice when he was poked in the eye, causing an orbital fracture.
Sieler will miss this week, but more tests will be run, and surgery can not be ruled out. With Sieler out, Calais Campbell will see a lot more work than usual, and Anthony Weaver could look to move Emmanuel Ogbah inside.
On Saturday, the Dolphins officially put Tagovailoa back on the 53-man roster and released Tim Boyle. They also elevated defensive tackle Neil Farrell to the active roster to give the team some depth.
At quarterback, Skylar Thompson returns to his backup role. The Dolphins, as we mentioned, released Boyle. They placed Tyler Huntley on injured reserve and signed C.J. Beathard to the practice squad.
