Artie Burns' injury has come as a significant setback for the Miami Dolphins. After joining the team on a one-year deal, the cornerback suffered a torn ACL on the first day of training camp, confirming the worst fears following an MRI. As Burns leaves the field on crutches, the Dolphins now face the challenge of filling an already depleted cornerback position, further complicating their defensive plans for the upcoming season.

Burns, who last started full-time in 2017, was poised to compete for a starting role in Miami. His absence in the secondary will necessitate quick adjustments from the coaching staff, particularly Coach Mike McDaniel, as the team seeks to maintain its competitiveness in the league.
