Cornerback Storm Duck listed as inactive (ankle), reflecting the depth concerns in Miami’s secondary as Week 1 injuries complicate the defensive depth chart ahead of Week 2 against New England.

Storm Duck drew scrutiny on the first Dolphins defensive TD alignment, with coach Anthony Weaver citing Tampa 2 responsibilities and a re-route that left Pittman wide open. Duck’s late-week injury compounds Week 2 prep as Miami weighs coverage roles and depth ahead of the Patriots game.

Duck handles an ankle issue, potentially opening a window for Zeek Biggers to log more snaps. If Duck misses, depth at corner is tested, especially with Waddle limited and Hill drawing more attention. Duck’s absence could tilt targets and opportunity toward Biggers in the secondary and shift the coverage dynamics for the Dolphins.

Duck is sidelined for a couple weeks; Douglas filled in, validating depth but thinning the outside depth. Changes impact pass coverage and potential matchup vulnerabilities.

Storm Duck exited with a knee injury, compounding Miami’s cornerback depth issues. His absence could widen New England’s edge and slot opportunities in Week 2, potentially elevating Patriot targets or forcing a rotation that could alter defensive upside for fantasy players.
