The Dolphins’ training camp from hell continued Tuesday when coach Adam Gase revealed that cornerback Tony Lippett tore his Achilles’ tendon in Monday’s practice, an injury that will sideline him for the 2018 season.

The Dolphins now have lost four key players - Ryan Tannehill, Ted Larsen, Raekwon McMillan and Lippett - to serious injuries in camp. Like Lippett, Tannehill and McMillan are out for the season.

Lippett had four interceptions last season, tied for sixth in the AFC, and was positioned to be the team’s No. 3 cornerback.

He was injured when he jumped up in Monday’s practice trying to make a play on a ball.
