Miami Dolphins cornerback Nik Needham was injured early in the first quarter against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday night. The cornerback made a tackle during the Raiders’ second possession, then rolled over and immediately grabbed his hand. Trainers appeared to be examing one of Needham’s fingers before taking the 2019 undrafted free agent back to the locker room.
Hall of Fame defensive end Jason Taylor, working as a color commentator for the Dolphins, speculated that Needham sustained a dislocated finger, which would match what it appeared the trainers were doing before Needham walked off the field.
