The Miami Dolphins face a significant challenge as defensive lineman Zach Sieler will miss the upcoming Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals due to an eye injury sustained in practice. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Sieler's absence is unprecedented in his career and that his recovery timeline remains uncertain.
Sieler, a key player on the Dolphins' defense, shares the team lead in sacks and has been instrumental in their defensive strategy. His injury comes at a critical time, especially against a Cardinals offense that heavily relies on running back James Conner.
With Sieler sidelined, the Dolphins may need to elevate Neil Farrell Jr. from the practice squad and increase the workload for veteran Calais Campbell, who is not ideally suited for a heavy snap count at his age.
