Dolphins add two players to COVID list ahead of season opener vs. Patriots

The Dolphins placed two players on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday ahead of the team’s season opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

The team announced that starting left tackle Austin Jackson and tight end Adam Shaheen have been added to the list, placing their availability for the first game of the season in question.

The Dolphins also designated practice squad cornerback Jamal Perry as a COVID-19 replacement, which may be a sign that one of the two is not going to be able to return in time for the Week 1 game.

According to NFL protocols, if a player is unvaccinated and tests positive, he must complete a 10-day quarantine before returning to practice.
