Dolphins’ McCord Set for NFL Debut Against Colts
7 sourcesUpdated Nov 15, 20261 min read
Kyle McCord is set to make his first NFL start for the Miami Dolphins against the Indianapolis Colts after starter Malik Willis went on injured reserve with a groin injury. The sixth-round pick, who has not played in a regular-season NFL game, takes over a 1-7 team struggling offensively and looking for a spark after consecutive losses. Miami will also be without defensive lineman Zach Sieler for the season, and uncertainty over center Aaron Brewer adds to the challenges facing McCord. The Dolphins have leaned on their running game, with Ollie Gordon II producing consistently since taking over as the feature back. Indianapolis has lost five straight, leaving both teams near the bottom of the standings as they seek to turn around disappointing seasons.
