Jones most likely to miss Thursday night

Byron Jones DB, Miami Dolphins


Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said CB Byron Jones (groin) "would have to heal pretty quickly" to play Thursday against the Jaguars.

Jones, after leaving Sunday's game with a groin injury, looks like a long shot to play in against Jacksonville in a shortened week. His absence would make a good matchup even better for Gardner Minshew, who has an unsustainable 9.2 percent touchdown rate through two weeks. Minshew will be a rock-solid QB2 with plenty of upside against Miami's woeful secondary.

Jags WRs licking their chops big time.

Igbonaghene is getting a rough introduction to the NFL. I guess the bright side is that this accelerates his learning curve.

Minshew gonna feast. Ugh.

Right now every offense in the NFL are looking forward to playing our defense.

 

[mrhankey81701]

Not really surprised. With the short week he has a really low chance to play.

you guys are hilarious, the Hawks just beat the ever living crap out of the Pats defense, and made the reigning defensive MVP look like hot garbage. Does that mean their defense is bad? We just lost to two playoff teams (if Cam stays healthy, yes they are a playoff team), everyone calm down. I dont expect to see a good defensive performance until maybe the 49ers game at best because of their injuries. Our expectations were WAY too high coming into this year. We are starting Ryan Fitzpatrick for gods sake. This is year two of a rebuild and we need to look at it as more of a developmental year.

So I'm guessing the rook on D.J. Chark while the $80 million man is chilling on an island covering some bum like Keelan Cole? Minshew Mania.

I'll keep saying it. I don’t care about a scheme. The way we defend is flat out stupid.

the 80 mil guy is unlikely to play on thursday, unless youre referring to the 75 mil guy as 80 mil guy.

Good post! I think people forget we just played 2 good opponents, one of which just happens to have one of the best HC's ever. Oh and both teams have much more stability in their coaching staffs, schemes, etc. With all of that being said however I dont think anyone expected the defense to be This bad.

Sit him Thu and then maybe he goes vs Sea. That'd be a full two weeks. Geez, I don't even want to think about the kind of numbers Russell Wilson is going to put up on us.

Or destroys his confidence. He didn’t look like an NFL player yesterday. Not even remotely. He has a aloooooongggy way to go.

problem is we made Josh Allen look like a HOFer. Kid is ok but he had career highs in yards and TDs. When we play elite QBs - especially w no ability to stop the run - well, everyone’s gonna have 500+ yards on us this year.

Lol absolute bloodbath. Mobile AND pinpoint accurate, I won’t be surprised if they leave the punter in the locker room.
