Kadyn Proctor out with concussion; Jarrett Kingston to start for Dolphins
Kadyn Proctor is out for Week 8 due to a concussion, forcing Jarrett Kingston to start at left guard against the New England Patriots.
· 2d ago · 1 min read
This injury interrupts the development of the rookie left guard, who has played every offensive snap this season without surrendering a sack.
Jarrett Kingston is expected to fill in for Proctor at left guard on Sunday, marking his second game appearance of the season. While substituting for Jonah Savaiinaea against the Cincinnati Bengals, Kingston had demonstrated strong play on the right side.
Fantasy impact
Five straight 100-yard rushing efforts were enabled by the Dolphins' offensive line, which continues to serve as a strength. Kingston's insertion into the starting lineup adds continuity to a unit that just secured a 28-25 victory over the New York Jets on October 25. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik noted that Kingston has been working with the offensive line group for some time.
Kingston received high praise for his performance in the Bengals game, where he handled a tough defensive front. Hafley stated, "I mean, when he came in in the Cincinnati game, that was a really good front, and I thought he did a really good job." The coaching staff believes Kingston is ready to take advantage of this opportunity against the Patriots.
What to do
Start Miami running backs as their line remains solid despite the change at left guard. Kingston has shown he can handle key blocks and physical play, according to the coaching staff's assessment of his recent practice and game film.
