SANTA CLARA, CALIF. — The Miami Dolphins may turn to a coveted draft pick to make his first career start as the team hopes to reconfigure its offensive line with a valuable starter expected to miss some time due to injury.
Dolphins rookie Robert Hunt, one of two second-round picks by Miami in the 2020 NFL draft last April, is expected start at right tackle while veteran Jesse Davis will move to left tackle in Sunday’s game against the 49ers.
The moves have been necessitated after starting left tackle Austin Jackson, one of three first-round picks by Miami, joined the team’s injured reserve list due to a foot injury suffered last week.
