The Miami Dolphins faced a narrow defeat against the Arizona Cardinals, with notable player absences due to injuries impacting the game. Key defensive players Zach Sieler, Kader Kohou, and Storm Duck were inactive, while rookie Cam Smith made his season debut.
Offensively, Jonnu Smith stood out at tight end, and the snap counts for running backs De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert were closely matched. However, Odell Beckham Jr.'s limited participation raises concerns as he remains without a catch for the Dolphins.
On defense, several players logged significant snaps, including linebacker Jordyn Brooks and safety Jordan Poyer. The absence of Sieler allowed Da'Shawn Hand and Calais Campbell to see increased playing time, while rookie Chop Robinson also contributed defensively.
