It feels like every time the Dolphins take a step forward, another player limps backwards. The secondary has been a carousel of setbacks all camp long – first Artie Burns, then whispers about Kader Kohou’s knee, and now Ashtyn Davis wobbling off practice on crutches. It’s a bad rerun Miami fans didn’t ask for.
Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed for Davis. The update wasn’t all doom. McDaniel explained: “We were fortunate that it wasn’t the worst. That being said, it will take the next couple of days… It wasn’t the thing that keeps you the whole season.” Still, Davis was spotted with a boot and crutches after leaving drills, so the Dolphins are crossing fingers while they wait.

This is the same Davis who signed a one-year, $3 million deal in March to bring depth to Miami’s back end. That depth is evaporating fast. With Kohou out, Artie Burns gone, and Davis in limbo, McDaniel might need more than just optimism. He needs veterans like Mike Hilton to step into an oversized role – because at this rate, the Dolphins’ defense looks more like a triage unit than a secondary.
As for Kohou, it’s the worst: season-ending injured reserve. Kohou, arguably Miami’s top cornerback, is done for the year with a knee injury. McDaniel admitted he was crushed, but said Kohou’s mindset softened the blow: “I was crushed until I talked to Kader and honestly Kader made me feel a little bit better simply because of his mindset,” McDaniel explained.
