Miami Dolphins Place Offensive Tackle On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins may have suffered a massive loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, but with all their talent and standing in the AFC in 2022, they still have a very good chance of making a big run down the stretch, so the last thing they needed was to lose a key piece of this very talented offensive group. 

Dolphins are signing former No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher and, in a corresponding move, placing starting OT Austin Jackson on injured reserve, per league sources.

Unfortunately for Miami, they today have had to place starting tackle Austin Jackson on Injured Reserve, meaning that he could potentially miss the end of the 2022 season, but with good depth along the offensive line, there's a very good chance that this team is good enough to sustain such a loss.

With Tua Tagovailoa taking the next step in 2022, this team is looking like a genuine contender in the AFC, and if he can be protected enough to get the ball to Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and their other top weapons, so with a good signing today and good depth, this is a team that's good enough to survive and thrive in 2022.
