Miami Dolphins May Place Kenneth Grant on Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins are contemplating placing defensive lineman Kenneth Grant on injured reserve as he deals with an undisclosed injury. This decision could keep him out for the first part of the 2026 regular season, with a possible return by Week 5.

Head coach Jeff Hafley indicated that Grant's injury has persisted since training camp, and he remains classified as week-to-week. The Dolphins have not yet made a final decision regarding Grant's status, but there is concern about his availability for the season opener.

Grant, a former first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, played all 17 games in his rookie season, contributing five starts, 33 tackles, and two sacks. His absence would challenge the depth of Miami's defensive line, although other players are available to step in.
