On Saturday, the Miami Dolphins announced they signed a former New England Patriots offensive lineman. The Dolphins needed to add a player after losing an offensive lineman for the season due to an injury sustained in the team’s first preseason game.
Kion Smith will miss the 2024 season
As previously discussed on GH, offensive lineman Kion Smith will miss the 2024 season due to a torn ACL he suffered during Friday night’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith is one of several Dolphins linemen who are battling injury:
After leaving Friday’s game with a knee injury, tests have officially confirmed that offensive lineman Kion Smith will miss the entirety of the season with a torn ACL…
Starting guard Isaiah Wynn resides on the active/PUP list as he recovers from a season-ending quad injury suffered last year. Meanwhile, starter center Aaron Brewer is dealing with a hand injury sustained last week, which is not considered a significant issue.
The Miami Dolphins sign Chasen Hines
Per a statement by the Dolphins on Saturday, the team announced they placed Smith on injured reserve and signed Chasen Hines:
Hines spent the 2023 season on the Dolphins’ practice squad after originally signing with the team on Aug. 31, 2023. He was elevated once but did not appear in a game. Hines was a sixth-round pick (210th overall) by New England in the 2022 NFL Draft. He played collegiately at LSU, where he appeared in 35 games with 17 starts. Hines was a member of LSU’s 2019 national championship team.
Smith was listed as the Dolphins No. 3 left guard on the roster. Hines would likely assume a backup role on the Dolphins during the preseason.
