Will the Miami Dolphins star play at MNF?

MIAMI GARDENS – Miami Dolphins is played in a “Monday night football” game at the Los Angeles Rams.

The Dolphins have several key injury issues entering the game.

Dolphin star receiver Tyreek Hill missed practice Friday and Saturday with a wrist injury and will be questionable.

Miami needs Hill and Jaylen Waddle to make some of the big plays they made last season.

Is Tyreek Hill playing for the Dolphins against the Rams?

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel updated Hill’s condition on Saturday.

McDaniel said Hill is managing something that’s heating up. Hill is doing his best and the Dolphins will see how Hill responds.

“If his body lets him, he’ll play,” McDaniel said.

Hill was not seen during the portion of practice open to the media on Saturday.

Asked if he was optimistic about Hill, McDaniel said: “I’m optimistic he’s going to do his best. I wouldn’t say I’m optimistic or pessimistic.”

Miami right tackle Austin Jackson (knee) missed Thursday and Friday’s practices.

Austin Jackson playing Dolphins at Rams?

McDaniel said Jackson will be out and may need surgery.

It would be more of a cleanup than a season finale, McDaniel said.

Veteran Kendall Lamm has played more at left tackle than right tackle, but should be able to capably fill in for Jackson as needed.

The Rams have a dangerous rookie player, Florida State’s Jared Verse.

Dolphins free safety Jevon Holland (hand/knee) missed practice time this week.

McDaniel said he is optimistic about Holland, Storm Duck and Kader Kohou.

Holland is debatable. Duck and Kohou are ready to go.

Holland moved well at Dolphins practice on Saturday.

Is Jevon Holland playing for the Dolphins at the Rams?

Marcus Maye has received more playing time in Holland’s absence and the Dolphins could also give Elijah Campbell more playing time.

There is a chance that wide receiver River Cracraft will be activated for this game.
