Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland (hand, knee) is optimistic that he will be able to play on Monday Night Football in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. While Holland is hoping to be able to play, he said on Friday that he'll be a game-time decision on Monday. The 24-year-old defensive back injured his knee in the Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and was not active for last week's loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills. After missing practice on Thursday this week, Holland put in a limited session on Friday, giving him a chance to return on Monday. The Dolphins defense could surely use Holland back on the field against a high-octane Rams passing attack that has both receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back. In six games this year, Holland has 26 tackles (18 solo), two pass breakups and a forced fumble.
Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland (hand) was forced from the team's 15-10 victory over the New England Patriots with a broken bone in his hand and did not return to the contest. Holland is the team's fourth-leading tackler and defended his first pass of the season in Miami's win on Sunday. However, he was spotted in a cast after the game and will miss time after breaking a bone in his left hand. It's another blow to the Dolphins' lineup as the injuries keep piling up on both sides of the ball. In addition to losing linebacker Jaelan Phillips (knee) to a season-ending knee injury, safety Jordan Poyer (shin) was also unavailable for Sunday's contest. Not to mention, edge rusher Bradley Chubb has not been in the lineup all season. While the severity of the 24-year-old's injury has yet to be determined, it's expected he'll need some time to recover. In his stead, safety Elijah Campbell will be in line for an uptick in snaps. However, with the team on bye in Week 6, Holland and the remaining injured Dolphins will have an extended recovery period ahead of a Week 7 road matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland (knee) was listed as a non-participant in his team's estimated practice report on Wednesday, marking two straight missed practices for him. Holland has been dealing with a knee issue for a few weeks now, although he was able to take the field in Weeks 17 and 18 after missing Weeks 13 through 16. The Dolphins could be managing the injury for Holland as they gear up to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs.
Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland (knee) is currently listed as questionable for the Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Holland missed Thursday's practice, but was able to get through limited practices on Friday and Saturday. It sounds like Holland is going to be a game-time decision for Monday's contest. Brandon Jones took over as an every-down player when Holland sat out last week. He's expected to see an increased role again if Holland sits out on Monday.
