The Miami Dolphins are expected to be missing four starters for their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been managing a foot injury over the past couple of weeks but will continue to play, according to coach Mike McDaniel.
Kohou and Sieler, who sustained an eye injury during practice last Thursday, will miss their second consecutive game. Hill injured his shoulder in the first quarter against Arizona last Sunday and did not participate in practice this week.
Defensive tackle Zach Sieler (eye), tight end Julian Hill (shoulder), and cornerback Kader Kohou (neck) were officially ruled out on Friday afternoon.
McDaniel mentioned that Sieler will wear a visor upon his return. Da’Shawn Hand is likely to start in Sieler’s place for the second week in a row.
“You need to be able to see, and you want to avoid any further damage to the eyes,” McDaniel said on Friday. “If it were purely performance-related, he might be out there, but we need to prevent any additional injury.”
Safety Jevon Holland is also unlikely to play due to a knee injury suffered against the Cardinals, and he has a hand injury from Week 5. He did not practice either.
Jordan Poyer and Marcus Maye are expected to step in as Miami’s starting safeties.
