Newly-signed Dolphins offensive lineman's season ends with crushing IR move

The Miami Dolphins placed veteran offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer on injured reserve, ending his 2026 season. Salyer joined Miami in free agency earlier this spring and, according to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, was expected to be a primary reserve option on the offensive line. The 26-year-old has been out of practice since July 31 due to an undisclosed injury, and the move forces Miami to reshape its depth chart. Salyer can play tackle and guard, giving roster flexibility, but now the team needs new coverage. Miami acquired Caedan Wallace from the Patriots earlier this month for a late-round draft pick, adding versatility after Wallace saw time at right tackle, left tackle, left guard and special teams. Miami’s next game is a preseason matchup vs. the Giants.
