"Miami did not elevate nor sign an offensive lineman, which has Brewer's availability trending up as he enters questionable with a pectoral injury. The Dolphins have eight offensive linemen on the roster, and league rules only allow teams to have 48 players active on game day if they have eight offensive linemen active. If Brewer can't play, Miami would have to make it through Sunday with 47 players, which is an unlikely concession to make."
"The elevation of Johnson gives Miami another cornerback at an already-thin group, where nickel cornerback Cornell Armstrong was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week and then released from IR Friday. Bell has been a core special teams contributor in the past when he was on the active roster last season. He could help special teams units without Campbell, albeit not at Campbell's key gunner role on punt coverage."
Miami elevated outside linebacker Quinton Bell and cornerback Isaiah Johnson from the practice squad to the game-day roster ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The team did not elevate or sign an offensive lineman, improving center Aaron Brewer’s chances to play despite a pectoral injury and limited practice participation. The Dolphins carry eight offensive linemen, and league rules permit only 48 active players on game day when eight offensive linemen are active; without Brewer they would face operating with 47 active players. Daniel Brunskill would likely serve as backup center if Brewer cannot play. Multiple other injuries and roster moves affected both teams.
