"Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel deemed Duck unlikely to suit up for "Monday Night Football" next week "I think he's progressing," McDaniel said. "I don't have my hopes up for this next game. It's a little early, but soon after that, I'm hoping. I can almost rule him out this week, just because of the timing." Duck rose to starter status after making the team as an undrafted rookie last season."
"Separately, Dolphins reserve offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg is not approaching a return to the field yet. "What he's dealing with is of the chronic nature," McDaniel said. "That's going to take more time." Eichenberg has been on the physically-unable-to-perform list since the start of training camp with his undisclosed ailment. Starting the season on PUP, he would've been eligible to return after four games, but that doesn't appear to be in the realm of possibility."
Storm Duck suffered an ankle injury on Sept. 7 while making a tackle that involved other players' body weight falling on his leg. He rose to starter status after making the team as an undrafted rookie last season. He is unlikely to suit up for Monday Night Football next week, with a return expected shortly after. Rasul Douglas has been starting opposite Jack Jones since Duck's injury and is expected to remain the starting boundary corner. Liam Eichenberg remains on the physically-unable-to-perform list with a chronic undisclosed ailment and is not close to returning. Riley Patterson will be moved to the active roster to cover for injured kicker Jason Sanders.
