Over the last two weeks of the season, the Miami Dolphins have been losing ground. They went from having a shot at the top seed in the AFC to being the sixth seed.
The Dolphins have lost their last two games of the season and have suffered serious injuries to every position on the defense, particularly linebacker.
All this week, Miami has been adding pieces in anticipation of a big wild card weekend matchup in Kansas City. In the midst of all these injuries, they have now added a new player and activated a player from their active roster. In particular, Miami has lost four linebackers to injury during the worst possible stretch of the season.
The Dolphins added linebacker Melvin Ingram to their active roster in advance of their pivotal game against the Kansas City Chiefs, since all of their starting linebackers were sidelined. Given that they have added multiple linebackers ahead of the playoffs, this reflects their terrible injury problems heading into the postseason.
