Dolphins Place 3 on IR, Activate Meyer Before Bucs Game

The Miami Dolphins announced several roster adjustments on Saturday, placing three players on injured reserve and activating others ahead of their home finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The team ruled out center Aaron Brewer for the contest due to a neck injury, ending his bid to extend a 58-game consecutive start streak. Brewer, who had been listed as questionable after limited practice participation, expressed determination to play if possible but acknowledged the decision would come close to kickoff. "I'm a tough guy. I live on toughness," Brewer said Friday. "If I'm able to move around, walk and do my job efficiently, I'll go out there and play." The Dolphins also confirmed inactives including safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (calf), wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, offensive tackle Kendall Lamm, linebacker Derrick McLendon and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who serves as the emergency third quarterback. Tagovailoa's designation keeps him sidelined as he continues recovery from a season-ending injury.
