RT Austin Jackson, FB Alec Ingold latest injuries for Dolphins
August 4 - The Miami Dolphins endured a rough few days on the practice field as they ramp up for their preseason opener next week. Right tackle Austin Jackson sustained a lower leg injury on Friday, knocking him out for a matter of weeks, and fullback Alec Ingold wound up in concussion protocol after getting hurt in practice on Sunday. Jackson missed more than half of the 2024 season due to a knee injury, but coach Mike McDaniel emphasized on Sunday that the latest ailment is unrelated. "He got the (new) injury playing football and got stepped on. It has nothing to do with anything but that," McDaniel said Sunday. "And with Austin, the bottom line for me where he's at ... he knocked some rust off, he got back and, in my opinion, exceeded where he was playing before. So we're fortunate that that timetable (for his absence) doesn't seem to be into the regular season." Jackson, 25, has started 54 of his 56 NFL games for the Dolphins since they selected him with the 18th overall pick in the 2020 draft out of Southern California. The Dolphins added to their offensive line depth on Sunday by signing Germain Ifedi. A first-round pick of Seattle in 2016, he has played for the Seahawks (2016-19), the Chicago Bears (2020-21), the Atlanta Falcons (2022) and the Cleveland Browns (2024). Last year, he appeared in 15 games and made five starts. Ingold, 29, played three seasons with the Raiders before spending the past three years in Miami, including a Pro Bowl season in 2023. Last year, he had 10 carries for 17 yards and a touchdown to go with 11 receptions for 96 yards. Miami's exhibition opener is at Chicago on Aug. 10. The Dolphins begin the regular season at Indianapolis on Sept. 7. --Field Level Media

Dolphins FB lands in concussion protocol
Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold is in the NFL's concussion protocol after suffering an injury in training camp Sunday, a team spokesperson told David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Ingold, 29, went down in practice and was motionless on the field, leaving many of his teammates concerned. But the concerns were assuaged when Ingold got back to his feet and walked off the field under his own power. The former Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders fullback signed with the Dolphins as a free agent during the 2022 offseason. After his first season in Miami, Ingold signed an extension with the team in 2023 and earned Pro Bowl honors later that year. In three seasons with the Dolphins, Ingold has recorded 25 rushing yards, 320 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns. More importantly, he's been an integral part of blocking both in the run game and in pass protection for Tua Tagovailoa. Miami doesn't have any other fullbacks on its roster.

Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold currently in concussion protocol
Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold is currently in concussion protocol, according to the team. The 29-year-old suffered a head injury towards the end of Sunday's practice. It's unclear what happened. The Dolphins were in a situational team drill with their back against their own end zone when suddenly Ingold appeared to collapse as soon as the ball snapped. Trainers rushed to his side as the entire team took a knee and the crowd at the Baptist Health Training Facility fell silent. A member of the Dolphins since March 2022, the one-time Pro Bowler plays a crucial role in the team's rushing attack. 'I think Alec Ingold is definitely a big piece to that puzzle with our run game,' Tua Tagovailoa said mid-November 2024. Ingold's leadership has also proved invaluable as his teammates voted him a captain in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024. 'There's a lot of guys that have leadership skills and play the game to have a 'C' on their chest,' coach Mike McDaniel said in Oct. 2024. 'He proved to every teammate – not that he needed to at all – but he really wore the 'C' on his chest, leading, helping our offense operate but really did some outstanding things at the point of attack against a physical front that's really trying to inflict punishment on fullbacks in general. He was instrumental. He was at the point of attack a ton and had a very, very high execution rate.' And with many of last year's team leaders no longer with the Dolphins, Ingold was likely going to be relied upon even more from a leadership prespective. 'We lost a lot of great leaders, a lot of great captains, a lot of great production, but every team goes through that,' Ingold said July 22. 'If we can utilize some of that turnover to have fresh faces, fresh opportunities, people stepping up and coming into their own, I think we have to trust that. So I think we have the roster and the team where we need it, and it really comes down to trusting, trusting each other in those conversations. So leaders, captains, role players, scout team, like it doesn't really matter – we all need to get on the same page, trusting each other.'
