"Linebacker Jordyn Brooks, who sustained a foot/knee injury in the game, is scheduled to participate in Friday's practice but his status for the Bengals game is uncertain. "We'll see how it goes," McDaniel said. Brooks has a league-leading 155 tackles and 3.5 sacks. He's played 844 snaps, which is 95.5 percent of the Dolphins' defensive snaps. Fitzpatrick has 82 tackles, third on the team, as well as one sack, six passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble and two recovered fumbles."
"Fitzpatrick was injured late in the game. He's not only the starting safety but he also handles nickel/slot duties. And he plays special teams, where his 106 snaps equate to 30 percent of the team's special teams snaps. On Tuesday, McDaniel said Fitzpatrick is "week to week," and considering there are only three weeks remaining in the season there's a chance Fitzpatrick doesn't return."
Minkah Fitzpatrick sustained a calf injury late in last week's loss at Pittsburgh and will not play Sunday against Cincinnati. Jordyn Brooks sustained a foot/knee injury in the same game and is scheduled to participate in Friday's practice, but his status for the Bengals game remains uncertain. Brooks leads the league with 155 tackles and 3.5 sacks and has played 844 snaps (95.5 percent) of the Dolphins' defensive snaps. Fitzpatrick has 82 tackles, one sack, six passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble and two recovered fumbles, with 845 snaps (95.6 percent). Fitzpatrick also handles nickel/slot duties and plays significant special teams snaps. Sunday's kickoff time moved to 1 p.m.
