With starting left tackle Terron Armstead still dealing with a toe issue, and now also having an achilles ailment, eyes were on Miami’s practice report throughout the week and then again on today’s official elevation announcement.
The Miami Dolphins chose to elevate just one player for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears - tackle Kion Smith. This news bodes well for Armstead’s chances of suiting up in the Windy City, while it also means that starting right tackle Austin Jackson is likely to sit for another week.
Meanwhile, rookie safety Verone McKinley III was not elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s contest.
