The Miami Dolphins may soon rely on rookie tackle Patrick Paul, drafted 55th overall, to step in for injured left tackle Terron Armstead against the Tennessee Titans. Armstead is currently in concussion protocol following a head injury, raising the possibility of Paul's NFL starting debut.
Paul, who has been honing his skills under the mentorship of Armstead and veteran Kendall Lamm, is eager for the opportunity. At 6-7 and 332 pounds, he possesses the physical attributes needed for the role, and his readiness has been supported by head coach Mike McDaniel.
With the Dolphins seeking a reliable long-term left tackle, Paul's performance could be pivotal for the team's future, especially given Armstead's injury history and uncertain future.
