"With the team depleted at the position, the team will be signing a cornerback to be named later, according to McDaniel, specifically one who can line up as a nickel. "Among several things, we will be adjusting our roster," McDaniel said. "We will be adding a nickel. ... We'll be adding a player, and then there will be some subsequent moves that we'll do throughout the week.""
"Armstrong was already substituting for rookie nickel cornerback Jason Marshall Jr., who himself is on IR recovering from his own hamstring ailment. Storm Duck, a starter to begin the season, is still not ready to return to practice from his ankle injury suffered a month ago, McDaniel said Wednesday. The Dolphins previously lost Kader Kohou, who would've handled nickel duties this year, to a season-ending knee injury in the preseason, along with fellow cornerbacks Artie Burns and Jason Maitre."
Cornell Armstrong has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. The team plans to sign a cornerback who can play the nickel role to address the depleted position. Armstrong had been substituting for rookie Jason Marshall Jr., who is also on IR with a hamstring injury. Storm Duck remains unavailable while recovering from an ankle injury. Kader Kohou, Artie Burns and Jason Maitre are sidelined, leaving Rasul Douglas and Jack Jones as the primary boundary corners. Ethan Bonner and JuJu Brents have seen minimal defensive action. Several safeties can fill the nickel spot. If Tyrel Dodson cannot clear concussion protocol, linebacker snaps will be reallocated among backups, with K.J. Britt having served as the primary backup after Dodson exited a recent game.
