The Miami Dolphins announced Tuesday, Nov. 10, that starting quarterback Malik Willis has been placed on the injured reserve list. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the move was due to a groin injury.
Under NFL rules, Willis will miss at least the next four games. He is not the only Dolphins player sidelined. Defensive lineman Zach Sieler also went on injured reserve after rupturing his biceps in Miami’s 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Nov. 8, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The Associated Press reported that Sieler is expected to miss the rest of the season.
The injuries add to a long list of key absences for the Dolphins in 2026. Running back De’Von Achane suffered a season-ending knee ligament injury in the team’s Sept. 27 game against Kansas City.
For South Florida fans, the news means the team will go into a stretch of games without its presumptive starter at quarterback, and the roster losses on both sides of the ball will test depth as the season moves toward its final weeks.
