Sieler made two tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15. Sieler has now brought his sack total to 7.5 across 12 appearances this season, putting him within striking distance of the career-best 10.0 mark he notched in 2023. The veteran defensive end will have three more regular-season contests, beginning Sunday versus the 49ers, to boost his totals.
Sieler racked up four tackles (two solo) and 2.0 sacks during Sunday's 32-26 win over New York. Sieler has now brought his sack total to 6.0 through 11 games this season, with four of those sacks having come in his last four appearances. It will bode well for the Dolphins' fringe chances of making a playoff push if Sieler can keep up his momentum down the stretch, especially during Sunday's must-win road matchup against Houston.
Sieler (orbital) logged a full practice Saturday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Rams, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Sieler opened the week with consecutive limited practices but was able to practice Saturday without restrictions. He's been sidelined for the Dolphins' last two regular-season games after fracturing his orbital bone during practice in late October, but the 2018 seventh-round pick will be available for Monday's game.
Sieler (orbital) was a limited practice participant Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Sieler broke his orbital bone during practice in late October, which has caused him to be sidelined for the Dolphins' last two regular-season games. He's opened this week with consecutive limited practices, and Saturday's injury report will indicate Sieler's chances of playing against the Rams on Monday.
Sieler (orbital) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Sieler has yet to practice since breaking his orbital bone last week, so it's no surprise he won't be suiting up in Week 9. Da'Shawn Hand is likely the next man up at defensive end for the Dolphins.
Head coach Mike McDaniel stated Wednesday that Sieler (orbital) won't require surgery, but his status for Sunday against the Bills won't be known until later In the week, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Sieler broke his orbital bone last week during practice and wasn't able to play Week 8 against the Cardinals. Ultimately, if he's unable to play in Buffalo, Calais Campbell and Da'Shawn Hand will likely see an uptick in work.
Sieler broke his orbital bone in practice this week and is set to undergo more tests to determine if surgery is required, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Head coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Friday that Sieler wouldn't play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but Wolfe's report clarified the nature of his injury. Expect Da'Shawn Hand to start opposite Calais Campbell while Sieler is sidelined for at least Week 8.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Sieler (eye) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals and that a timetable for his return remains undisclosed, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Sieler could be in danger of missing more than one game due to an eye injury sustained during practice. The versatile defensive lineman is a key contributor for Miami, and his absence Sunday figures to make life easier for Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray, especially in scrambling situations.
Sieler tallied three tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one pass defensed during the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Sieler made his first sack of the 2024 regular season in a strong effort by Miami's defense versus Seattle. His sack came on a dominant rep versus left tackle Charles Cross. The versatile D-lineman has emerged as one of the Dolphins' bester playmakers on defense, and he'll be relied upon to make an impact versus Will Levis and the Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 4.
