The Miami Dolphins revealed concerning news about rookie linebacker Trey Moore ahead of the team’s final preseason game.
Head coach Jeff Hafley told reporters, including Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, that Moore will have surgery on his injured left ankle. Moore was knocked out of the Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants with the injury.
Hafley did not rule out Moore for the year, but he did not guarantee a return in 2026, either. “Hopefully he will be back at some point this season, but it will be awhile,” Hafley said.
