Dolphins Work Out Five Linemen After Austin Jackson Injury

The Miami Dolphins are facing significant challenges on their offensive line due to an injury to starting right tackle Austin Jackson, who is expected to miss several weeks but might be ready for the season opener. To address this, the Dolphins held tryouts for five free agent offensive linemen: veterans Chris Hubbard, Germain Ifedi, David Sharpe, and lesser-known players Yodny Cajuste and Zack Bailey. Hubbard brings extensive experience with 102 games played and 61 starts, including recent play for the 49ers, while Ifedi is a former first-round pick with 117 games and 90 starts. The Dolphins have struggled to field their ideal offensive line during training camp, and the backups have yet to stand out, making these tryouts crucial. Jackson’s injury occurred late in practice, adding urgency to the team’s search for reliable depth on the line. Meanwhile, the Dolphins continue to deal with multiple injuries across their roster, including several defensive backs out for the season, complicating their preparations for the upcoming season.
