""Jackson suffered a toe injury in last week's 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and did not return. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday he expected Larry Borom to start in Jackson's place in Week 2, but as the week progressed it became clear Jackson's injury would take multiple weeks to return from. Jackson missed most of training camp with a toe injury after his foot was stepped on at practice; McDaniel did not clarify whether this is a new injury or an aggravation to the one he suffered in camp.""
""You're measuring the inexact science of medicine or whatever, and you're trying to figure out if you can help your roster in the short term or if that's going to hurt you and particularly that player. I struggle robbing players of the finite opportunity of playing in NFL games, so it's easier when you have some absolute certainty. That's where we usually make that move.""
The Miami Dolphins placed starting right tackle Austin Jackson on injured reserve after a toe injury suffered in last week's 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts forced him out of the game. Coach Mike McDaniel initially expected Larry Borom to start in Jackson's place but determined the injury would require multiple weeks to recover. Jackson had missed much of training camp when his foot was stepped on, and it is unclear whether the current issue is new or an aggravation. The team also placed starting right guard James Daniels on IR with a pectoral injury; Kion Smith is expected to start in his place, and Miami signed a former Patriots first-round pick.
