MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins will be without wide receiver Braxton Berrios and tight end Durham Smythe for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Hard Rock Stadium after both entered questionable.
Berrios, hampered by a hamstring injury, and Smythe, dealing with an ankle ailment, were among the Dolphins’ inactive players announced 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. kickoff.
Meanwhile, running back Jeff Wilson Jr. was a healthy inactive. Fullback Alec Ingold is active after he entered Sunday questionable with a foot injury.
Dolphins rookie running back De’Von Achane is officially active after he was questionable for the game against the Raiders but activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Miami also had offensive linemen Robert Hunt (hamstring) and Robert Jones (knee) and wide receiver Chase Claypool ruled out Friday. Quarterback Skylar Thompson rounds out the team’s inactives but is available as an emergency third quarterback.
Earlier in the season, Sunday’s inactive list would have slowed the offense significantly, but with Achane being back from IR and wide receiver Robbie Chosen and offensive lineman Chasen Hines being elevated from the practice squad, the Dolphins have their necessary numbers.
Tight end could be a spot to watch considering, without Smythe, the Dolphins are left with rookie Julian Hill and Tyler Kroft at the position.
Without Berrios, Miami is also without its starting kick and punt returner.
With Wilson scratched, the Dolphins still have Achane, Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed with the fullback Ingold in the backfield.
The Dolphins (6-3) are in first place in the AFC East despite having lost two of their last three games before last week’s bye.
