Travon Walker Wrist Injury Sounds Serious
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Jaguars Edge Travon Walker will be meeting with a specialist to get more details about the wrist injury that knocked him out of Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Jevon Holland Set to Play
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (hand) and Edge Emmanuel Ogbah (biceps) will play Sunday against the Cardinals, HC Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday. Each player missed the Week 7 loss to the Colts. Holland returns as a DB3-level option in the Week 8 rankings. Ogbah looks like a DL4-5 with upside. Arizona QB Kyler Murray took 4 sacks apiece in losses to Buffalo and Washington. He has taken just 3 total sacks across the other five games.
Bradley Chubb to Stay on PUP into Season
Dolphins Edge Bradley Chubb will remain on the physically unable to perform list at the start of the regular season, HC Mike McDaniel announced Monday. That's not a surprise, as Chubb continues to work back from a late December ACL tear. But it confirms that he'll miss at least the first four regular-season games.
Dolphins Sign Emmanuel Ogbah
Per Jordan Schultz, the Miami Dolphins have signed DE Emmanuel Ogbah. The signing comes only a few days after DE Shaq Barrett abruptly retired. Ogbah had 24.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, and 1 INT in his previous four seasons with the Dolphins.
Jaelan Phillips out vs. Bills
The Dolphins have ruled Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) out for Sunday's game against the Bills. His absence will mean more playing time for Edge Andrew Van Ginkel. When Philips missed Week 2, Van Ginkel played 88% of snaps and delivered 6 tackles, 1 sack, 3 QB hits, and 1 pass deflection. He has climbed into DL2 territory in our Week 4 DL rankings. Edge Emmanuel Ogbah also figures to get more playing time. He has yet to play more than 23 snaps in a game this season, though, and doesn't deserve consideration in most IDP leagues.
Howard, Ogbah active vs. Lions
Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (groin) and EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) are active for today's game against the Lions.
Howard, Ogbah questionable vs. Lions
Dolphins lead CB Xavien Howard (groin) and EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) are questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit. Howard played through his injury for 100% of defensive snaps last Sunday night. Ogbah missed that game but finished the practice week with a full workout. We'll check both players' statuses Sunday morning.
Ogbah out; Wilkins, Howard in
Dolphins EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) is inactive for tonight's game against the Steelers. CB Xavien Howard (groin) and DL Christian Wilkins (hand) are active.
3 defensive starters questionable
Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins (hand), EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) and CB Xavien Howard (groin) are questionable for Sunday night's game against the Steelers
