Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Austin Jackson is expected to miss several weeks following a lower leg injury sustained during practice. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Jackson was "stepped on" and emphasized that this injury is unrelated to a previous meniscus injury he suffered last season. The Dolphins’ offensive line struggled significantly when Jackson was absent last year, recording lower run and pass block win rates. Despite the current injury, Jackson is projected to start in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, prompting Miami to sign Germain Ifedi as a precaution.
