DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins have already lost their starting quarterback, starting middle linebacker, a starting guard, and their interception leader in the secondary for most or all of the 2017 season. Two important running backs -- 2016 Pro Bowl pick Jay Ajayi and reserve Kenyan Drake -- also suffered concussions.
And it’s only August.
Miami began this year with high expectations after making the playoffs following a 10-6 campaign. However, as the team concluded its training camp Tuesday, it is already clear that this team’s playoff chances depend on the Dolphins’ depth and ability to sustain success through injuries.
