The Dolphins continue to go young as they have cut Donovin Darius. Darius made 13 tackles this season for the Dolphins but he’s been a little banged up. By missing time, he let his eventual replacement take his job. Cameron Worrell will be the starter at strong safety for the Dolphins and he’s been decent so far this season with 28 tackles.
Trent Green will likely miss most if not all of the rest of the season after suffering a very serious concussion against the Texans. He missed a large chunk of last season because of the same type of injury so the Dolphins will take it very easy with him. Green has completed 85 of 141 passes (60.3%) for 987 yards with 5 TD passes and 7 interceptions (72.6 QB Rating) and he also has carried the football 7 times for 32 yards (4.6 ypc). Cleo Lemon will take over as the starting QB for now and he did a good job at the end of last season for the Dolphins so they hope he can repeat that effort. He has completed 15 of 27 passes (55.6%) for 151 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 interception (56.2 QB Rating). Rookie 2nd round pick John Beck is only one hit away from being the starting QB.
The Dolphins have lost safety Traveras Tillman for the season after he underwent knee surgery yesterday. He made 11 tackles this season. Donovin Darius will take over as the starting strong safety for the Dolphins and he has 10 tackles this season. He’s a hard hitter who should help the Dolphins horrible run defense.
The Dolphins will be without Vonnie Holliday for 1-2 weeks after he fractured his lower leg. Holliday has made 15 tackles and has a sack so far this season. He will be hard to replace as he is one of the best run defenders on the Dolphins. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Rodrique Wright who has 4 tackles so far this season.
The Dolphins may lost Yeremiah Bell for the season with an Achilles Injury. Bell had 5 tackles in the game Sunday against the Redskins before he injured himself. This is a shame for both Bell and the Dolphins as he played pretty well last season. Traveras Tillman (who lost his job to Bell last season) and Cameron Worrell will battle it out to replace Bell in the starting lineup. Worrell had 4 tackles and Tillman had 2 in the season opener.
