🚨 DOLPHINS INJURY SCARE ROCKS MINICAMP! JAMAREE SALYER CARTED OFF AS MALIK WILLIS CONTINUES TURNING HEADS IN MIAMI 🚨
The Miami Dolphins may have just received their first major injury scare of the summer — and honestly, Dolphins fans are hoping the worst-case scenario doesn’t become reality. Because during Day 2 of mandatory minicamp, offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer reportedly had to leave practice on a cart, immediately creating concern throughout the organization. And whenever fans hear the words “carted off,” panic usually follows.

Now, to be fair, nobody knows the severity of the injury yet. The Dolphins have not provided major details, and there is still hope this could simply be a precautionary move. But honestly, losing Salyer would be a much bigger problem than many fans realize. While he was not projected to start, Miami signed him early in free agency because of one thing coaches absolutely love: versatility. Throughout his NFL career, Salyer has played left tackle, right tackle, left guard, and right guard. He is essentially the Swiss Army knife of the offensive line, the type of player every contender desperately needs when injuries start piling up during a long season.
And unfortunately, Salyer wasn’t the only injury story making headlines. Rookie receiver Caleb Douglas was reportedly limited and working on a stationary bike instead of participating fully in team drills. Defensive back Zack Curhan was also sidelined with what coaches described as a minor issue, while several other players remained unavailable as Miami continues managing injuries throughout camp. It is only June, but the Dolphins are already watching their depth chart very carefully.
The good news?
Malik Willis continues to look better every single day.
And honestly, that may be the biggest takeaway from minicamp so far.

According to multiple reports, Willis delivered another strong performance and capped off the day with one of the most impressive plays of camp, firing a 40-yard touchdown strike to tight end Ben Sims. Reports suggest Willis recognized a blitz, stepped into the throw, and delivered a laser down the middle of the field for the score. That play immediately generated buzz because it showcased exactly what Dolphins coaches have been hoping to see: confidence, decisiveness, and command of the offense.
Even better, this wasn’t just a one-play highlight.
According to observers, Willis has been stacking together strong practices. After bouncing back from an interception earlier in the week, he reportedly looked increasingly comfortable running the offense and building chemistry with his pass catchers. Coaches are praising him. Teammates are praising him. And perhaps most importantly, veteran tight end Greg Dulcich is becoming one of his biggest supporters.
Dulcich recently described Willis as a quarterback who sees the field well, throws with power, moves effectively inside the pocket, and continues improving every day. Those comments matter because they are coming from someone catching passes directly from him in practice.
And honestly, Dulcich himself may be emerging as one of the biggest surprises of the entire offseason.

Multiple reporters covering camp have highlighted the veteran tight end as one of Miami’s most consistent offensive weapons. In fact, some observers believe Dulcich could finish the season as one of Willis’ favorite targets. Considering how aggressively the Dolphins pursued him during free agency, that possibility should not surprise anyone.
Meanwhile, another player generating significant buzz is wide receiver Jaylen Tolbert.
According to reports from camp, Tolbert may currently be establishing himself as Willis’ most trusted wide receiver. While Malik Washington continues making plays, Tolbert’s size, experience, and ability to win contested catches are reportedly standing out. Through the first several weeks of offseason activities, those two names keep appearing at the top of practice reports.
That is not great news for everyone else.
Because while Tolbert and Washington are making noise, several other receivers have remained surprisingly quiet. Tutu Atwell has had flashes but has not consistently dominated. Kevin Coleman Jr. has received occasional praise. Caleb Douglas has been limited. Chris Bell remains focused on recovery.
In other words?
The receiver battle is wide open.
And honestly, that is what makes the next few weeks so important.
The Dolphins are still searching for answers at multiple positions. Injuries are already creating concerns. Roster battles are heating up. But amid all the uncertainty, one thing is becoming increasingly clear:
Malik Willis is giving Miami every reason to believe he can handle the spotlight.
And if he continues progressing at this pace, the conversation around the Dolphins’ quarterback situation may become much less complicated by the time training camp officially arrives.
