The Miami Dolphins are considering Kendall Lamm as the starting right tackle instead of Austin Jackson, who was active but not starting due to an oblique injury. Coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism that Jackson will be able to start against the Baltimore Ravens, stating that it would have been unfair to have him play the entire previous game. McDaniel also mentioned being 'very, very optimistic' about Jackson's availability for the upcoming game.
McDaniel said he is "very optimistic" Austin Jackson will play at Baltimore. Jackson was dressed yesterday but team planned to use Kendall Lamm - and did - because Jackson was limited last week with oblique.
Mike McDaniel said it would have been “unfair” to have RT Austin Jackson (oblique) play the entire game on Sunday, which is why he was active but not starting. McDaniel is optimistic Jackson can start vs. the Ravens.
