The Miami Dolphins are facing significant injury setbacks as they approach their Wild Card game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Linebackers Andrew Van Ginkel and Jerome Baker, as well as Cameron Goode, have been ruled out for the upcoming game. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Van Ginkel is sidelined due to a foot injury, while Baker will miss the game following wrist surgery performed this morning and is likely out for the remainder of the season. Additionally, Goode is out for the season with a PCL injury. The status of Van Ginkel for the remainder of the playoffs remains uncertain, with McDaniel stating it is 'up in the air'. Despite these losses, McDaniel expressed confidence in the team's depth, stating, 'We have capable players across the board and the team doesn't use that as an excuse.'
