Miami Dolphins enter Monday night’s road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a lengthy injury report, as availability concerns linger ahead of kickoff at Acrisure Stadium. With both teams hovering around the playoff bubble, the Dolphins’ final status updates carry added weight for a primetime clash that could shape the remainder of the 2025 season.
Dolphins list 12 players on final injury report
Miami have listed 12 players on their official injury report ahead of the Week 15 contest. While several of those names were able to practice fully, one defender is trending toward missing the game, thinning Miami Dolphins’ depth on the back end.
Defensive back Elijah Campbell is listed as doubtful due to an ankle injury after only managing limited participation in practice. Campbell has appeared in four games this season, primarily contributing on special teams and in rotational defensive roles. His likely absence removes a versatile option from Miami’s secondary against a physical Steelers offense.
Offensive lineman Andrew Meyer is officially questionable with a tricep issue. Meyer was also limited in practice, leaving his status to be monitored closer to kickoff. Any absence along the offensive line would be significant given Pittsburgh’s pass-rushing threats and the hostile environment of a Monday night road game.
Positive signs for Miami Dolphins skill players
Despite the long injury list, Miami received encouraging news regarding several key contributors. Running back De’Von Achane, who was listed with a ribs injury, practiced fully and is expected to be available. Achane has been a centerpiece of Dolphins’ offense this season, posting 1,126 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns through the air and on the ground.
Tight end Darren Waller was also listed on the report for rest purposes but logged full participation, signaling no concern for his availability. Multiple defensive backs, including Ethan Bonner, Jack Jones, Ifeatu Melifonwu, and Rasul Douglas, were all full participants despite various injury designations, stabilizing a secondary that will be tested in Pittsburgh.
Special teams and depth considerations
Long snapper Joe Cardona, offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea, and guard Aaron Brewer were all full participants after dealing with minor injuries. Their availability helps preserve continuity across special teams and the offensive front, areas that can become decisive in tightly contested games.
Miami Dolphins (6-7) will face the Steelers (7-6) on Monday, December 15, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. The game will air nationally on ESPN, with streaming available via Fubo.
As kickoff approaches, Miami’s focus will be on overcoming defensive depth concerns while leaning on a largely intact offensive core to keep their postseason hopes alive.
