Jackson was placed on injured reserve on Monday and missed Miami’s win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. Although McDaniel initially did not expect Jackson’s injury to be long-term, he said Tuesday that Jackson would not return this season. according to the surgery schedule.
McDaniel said he expects Jackson to be ready for training camp next summer.
Jackson played eight games for the Dolphins this season. He suffered multiple injuries in 2022 and missed 15 games, but recovered last season and played in all but one. The Dolphins signed him to a three-year, $36 million extension in December 2023.
McDaniel also confirmed that the team claimed linebacker Tyrel Dodson, who was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Monday.
Dodson recorded 71 tackles in his first season with Seattle and spent the first five years of his career with the Buffalo Bills.
That familiarity with Dodson’s skill set inspired the Dolphins to claim him, McDaniel said.
“It was a surprise that he was there,” McDaniel said Tuesday. “[GM] “Chris Grier is always trying to make the team better and, in our opinion, the more the better.”
The Dolphins host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11, but will do so without starting cornerback Kendall Fuller, who left Monday night’s game with a concussion.
Considering this to be Fuller’s second concussion of the season, McDaniel ruled him out for Sunday’s game against Las Vegas and said there is no timetable for Fuller’s return.
