🚨 BREAKING: Storm Duck Set to Miss Multiple Weeks with Ankle Injury 🚨
The Miami Dolphins’ defensive depth has taken a significant hit as cornerback Storm Duck is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The setback comes at a time when Miami’s secondary was beginning to show promise after battling inconsistency in recent seasons.
Duck, who joined the Dolphins earlier this year, had been turning heads during training camp and preseason. Known for his aggressive coverage style and sharp instincts, he was carving out a role as a dependable rotational piece behind the starters. His absence now leaves Miami with difficult decisions on how to adjust their defensive back rotation moving forward.
Mike McDaniel addressed the situation candidly during media availability, noting the frustration surrounding the injury but also expressing confidence in the team’s depth:
“It’s unfortunate because Storm was really starting to settle into our system and provide us with versatility,” McDaniel said. “We’ll take it week by week, but he’ll miss some time. The focus now is making sure he heals properly.”
For Miami, this injury reopens familiar challenges in the secondary. With Jalen Ramsey leading the unit, the Dolphins have elite talent at the top, but the supporting cast now faces added pressure. Xavien Howard’s departure earlier in the offseason had already put more weight on younger and less experienced corners to step up. Duck’s absence means increased snaps for players like Cam Smith and Kader Kohou, who will be tested against high-powered AFC passing attacks.
