Dolphins Injury Report Shows Proctor in Protocol
Coach Jeff Hafley detailed player statuses and a penalty issue after Miami's 24-19 loss to New England on Sunday.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Football
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley gave injury updates Monday after a 24-19 loss to New England. Guard Kadyn Proctor remains in concussion protocol, and Jarrett Kingston started at left guard in his place.
Why it matters
The Dolphins are dealing with multiple injuries across the offensive line, defense and special teams during a close loss. Hafley's comments on player availability and discipline set expectations for the team's near-term roster decisions.
Zayne Gonzalez missed a 43-yard field goal and made a 52-yard attempt that bounced off the upright in the 24-19 loss. Kyle Louis logged 11 defensive snaps as an outside linebacker and nickel defender.
The players
Jeff Hafley
Jeff Hafley is the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, leading the team's on-field strategy and player development.
Ollie Gordon
Ollie Gordon is a Dolphins running back whose unsportsmanlike conduct penalties have drawn scrutiny from coaches this season.
Malik Willis
Malik Willis is a Dolphins quarterback who threw two touchdown passes in the loss to New England.
The details
Malik Willis threw two touchdown passes, but the offense was undone by Ollie Gordon's second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of the season, which turned a 3rd and 5 into a 3rd and 20. Hafley said he and Gordon have had four conversations since the penalty.
Timeline
August 2026: Trey Moore suffered an injury before the season.
Sunday, November 1, 2026: Dolphins lost 24-19 to New England.
Monday, November 2, 2026: Hafley held his injury update media session.
Season Trajectory
Proctor's concussion protocol status follows the NFL's standard process, which requires medical clearance before a player returns to play. The Dolphins' 24-19 loss to New England adds pressure on a roster already missing several contributors.
Fantasy managers should note Ollie Gordon's penalty issues and the uncertainty around Kadyn Proctor's availability on the offensive line. Trey Moore is not expected back in the next two weeks, so roster planning should account for his absence.
The takeaway
Hafley's four conversations with Gordon signal that discipline is a priority as the Dolphins try to tighten up in close games. Monitor the practice reports this week for updates on Baker, Proctor and Kromah.
What happens next
Darrell Baker may return to practice this week, and Jamree Kromah could see action in the coming game.
