Miami Dolphins free safety Jevón Holland suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of a Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals and exited to the blue medical tent on the sideline.
Jevón Holland injury update
The Dolphins didn’t provide specifics on the nature of Holland’s injury, but initially ruled him questionable to return. After he was evaluated on the sideline, Holland was seen on the sideline riding a stationary bike before halftime to stay loose.
At the start of the third quarter, the Dolphins downgraded Holland to out.
How long will Jevón Holland be out?
Early indications are that the injury isn’t too serious, as Holland didn’t immediately head to the locker room and was working to stay ready for a potential return to the game. While he was eventually ruled out, it may not be long before Holland is able to return action.
Dolphins safety depth chart
The Dolphins have a capable defensive back in Marcus Maye behind the starting duo of Jordan Poyer and Holland. Miami relied on the contributions of Maye heavily in their last two games due to a hand injury suffered by Holland that kept the safety out in Week 7.
Behind that veteran trio, the Dolphins have special teamer Elijah Campbell and they also have sixth-round rookie Patrick McMorris on the practice squad.
