Kendall Fuller was absent due to a concussion, prompting the Dolphins to start undrafted rookie Storm Duck at No. 3 cornerback over former second-round pick Cam Smith. Duck's performance was notable, allowing three completions on four targets for just 21 yards, while Smith saw limited action, going untested. Despite Smith facing tougher opponents throughout the season, Duck's early success indicates a potential shift in the Dolphins' cornerback depth chart.
Jordan Poyer is having a challenging time in coverage, with three completions allowed on three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in the latest game. For the season, he holds a disappointing 144.6 passer rating in his coverage area, ranking third-worst among all safeties targeted at least 20 times, as per Pro Football Focus. This continued struggle highlights the need for improvement in the Dolphins' secondary.
