"Cornerback Rasul Douglas (foot/ankle) doesn't seem likely to play in Sunday's game against Buffalo, according to coach Mike McDaniel, and the same is true for edge rusher Chop Robinson (concussion). If that's the case the Dolphins' defense, which is No. 24 in the league (343.7 yards per game), will be missing two projected starters considering Robinson would probably take the spot vacated by Jaelan Phillips, who was traded to Philadelphia."
"McDaniel said he's preparing "as though he won't" play but he's leaving the door open. If Douglas can't play it's likely that Ethan Bonner starts in his place. McDaniel said Robinson is in the same situation as Douglas from the standpoint "I'm prepared for him not to play, but not ruling it out" regarding the chance he does play. It's unclear who would start in Robinson's place but it could be veteran Matthew Judon."
Multiple Dolphins starters face doubt for Sunday: cornerback Rasul Douglas (foot/ankle) and edge rusher Chop Robinson (concussion) appear unlikely to play, which would remove two projected starters from a defense ranked 24th (343.7 yards per game). Safeties Iffy Melinfonwu (thumb/foot) and Ashtyn Davis (quadricep) are also questionable. Dee Eskridge (shoulder) is out. Ethan Bonner could start if Douglas is inactive, and Matthew Judon might fill Robinson's role. Buffalo will pose a major test with Josh Allen and James Cook, and Miami already trails Buffalo in seven straight head-to-head losses. Roster moves, including a possible return for tight end Tanner Conner, may follow.
