The Miami Dolphins are big favorites against the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football, sitting at around a two-touchdown favorite depending on the sports book.  However, they will still have to navigate the challenge of being without one of their best players on each side of the ball.  

Safety Jevon Holland (knees) and tackle Terron Armstead (ankle) are both listed among the Dolphins' inactives for Monday night. 

Both players only managed to log limited practices this week on Friday and Saturday and were listed as questionable on the final injury report on Saturday.  As it turns out, neither was ready to go on a long week.  

The Dolphins' left tackle has struggled with injuries dating back to the preseason when he went down with a knee injury during joint practices with the Houston Texans back in August.  He left against the Bills after aggravating his knee.  Last week against the Commanders, he left after suffering an ankle injury.  To date, he's played in only 6 games in 2023.  In his absence, Kendall Lamm should draw another start. 

Holland will miss his second straight game after suffering injuries in both of his knees at MetLife Stadium against the Jets in Week 12.  Brandon Jones, who logged all 55 defensive snaps last week in Holland's absence, should see a heavy workload again. 

The Titans and Dolphins are set to kick off at 8:15 pm ET.
