The Miami Dolphins have had many gruesome injuries to key players this season. Just recently, star defender Jaelan Phillips suffered a torn Achilles and was ruled out for the rest of the season,
and receiver Jaylen Waddle has been in and out of the lineup the entire year. Now, Miami’s offense has suffered another devastating blow on their offense in their loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The Dolphins will lose their starting center Connor Williams for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. Williams has started 26 games at center since joining the team in 2022 and has been one of the top offensive linemen on the roster. His left knee was rolled up when hit by a Titans defender in Monday night’s loss and was put in a knee brace for the remainder of the matchup.
This will mean the Dolphins will have to likely finish out their season with Liam Eichenberg as the center. Eichenberg has started a few games at center before and has been subbed in to take more snaps. The team could also decide to put rookie Alama Uluave, Chasen Hines, or Lester Cotton in the center position if they want to keep Eichenberg at his current position.
