The Miami Dolphins will enter the 2025 draft with a total of 10 picks, including three compensatory selections. The NFL's management council recently corrected a miscalculation that had mistakenly awarded the team an extra seventh-round pick. The Dolphins now hold one third-round compensatory pick, one fourth-round pick, and one seventh-round pick due to player movements during the offseason.

Compensatory picks are determined based on free agent losses and additions, and in this case, the Dolphins lost key players like guard Robert Hunt to the Carolina Panthers and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to the Las Vegas Raiders. As a result, the Dolphins have managed to retain a strategic advantage despite the loss of some depth.

With an emphasis on rebuilding and strengthening their roster, Miami needs to utilize these picks wisely. The adjustments in draft capital reflect the ongoing evolution of their team strategy and depth chart planning.

In a thrilling matchup, the Washington Commanders edged the New Orleans Saints 20-19, thanks to Jayden Daniels' two touchdown passes to Terry McLaurin. Daniels, who shone in his return to Louisiana, completed 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards and added 66 rushing yards.

Despite a valiant effort from Spencer Rattler, who nearly led the Saints to victory after replacing Jake Haener, New Orleans fell short on a last-minute 2-point conversion attempt. The game showcased a mix of penalties and missed opportunities, keeping the Saints winless without their starting quarterback Derek Carr.

Chris Olave, the New Orleans Saints' leading wide receiver, has been sidelined since Week 9 due to a concussion sustained during a game against the Carolina Panthers. The Saints placed him on injured reserve on November 10, which means he is set to miss at least four games. As he becomes eligible to return, uncertainty surrounds his status for the remainder of the season.

The Saints have struggled offensively in Olave's absence, compounded by injuries to other key players. While he has attended team meetings, his practice window has not opened, indicating he may not be ready to return to action. The team faces a dilemma regarding his health versus the need for his contributions as they aim for a playoff push.

Week 9 of the NFL season is marked by a series of injuries impacting key players across various teams. The Houston Texans have lost offensive lineman Kenyon Green for the season due to a shoulder injury, while the New Orleans Saints' Chris Olave was carted off after a concerning hit to the head.

Other notable injuries include Atlanta Falcons' Drake London, who is out with a hip injury, and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who left the game with a hamstring issue. The full extent of injuries across the league continues to unfold as teams navigate these challenges.
