Even With A Stunning Victory Over The Commanders, The Dolphins May Have Lost Two Key Players That May Lead To…

Dolphins Lose Key Players; Beat Commanders: The Miami Dolphins defeated the Commissioners as predicted, although it’s possible that they lost two key players.

The Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders with ease, 45–15, as predicted, but it’s possible that they lost important players in the process. The Dolphins were playing at their peak, just as they have been most of the season. Tua Tagovailoa completed 18 of 24 passes for 280 yards, two of which were touchdown passes to Tyreek Hill. Hill added those two touchdowns to five grabs for 157 yards. De’ Von Achane found the end zone twice and led the squad in rushing (17 carries, 73 yards). Raheem Mostert, not to be outdone, added a touchdown after gaining 43 yards on 11 carries. In Jaelan Phillips’s absence, Andrew Van Ginkel filled in, recording a pick-six against Sam Howell, the quarterback for Washington. Additionally, Emmanuel Ogbah is witnessing more playing time, due to Phillips’ injury also contributed a sack. The lopsided victory was not without its costs, however.

Jerome Baker Injury

Jerome Baker seemed to have suffered a serious leg injury in the first half of the game. Teammate Brandon Jones raced to prevent the Commanders Curtis Samuel from scoring a touchdown. In the process, Jones ended up sliding into Baker and rolling up on Baker’s leg. There is no prognosis as of this writing for Baker’s injury, though he has said via social media, he will be back sooner than you (fans) think.  Baker may not be the only key Dolphins player who may miss extended time.

Terron Armstead…Again

At this point in the season, Terron Armstead has already been on IR and has left a game on more than one occasion. Against the Commanders, Armstead, once again, had to leave the game. Much like Baker’s injury, Armstead’s also occurred in the second quarter. After a play in which Miami running back Raheem Mostert scored from a yard out, Armstead appeared to grab at his leg. Armstead did not return for the second half of the game and no other information as far as the severity of the injury, is yet available.
