The Miami Dolphins have seen a large amount of injuries throughout the season and cornerback Eli Apple went down with a lower left leg injury in the first quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were up 7-0 at the time of the injury. This is going to be something to follow as he is officially listed as questionable to return.
Bad News: #Dolphins Eli Apple is currently down.

The Miami Dolphins have been decimated by injuries throughout the season, including losing linebacker Bradley Chubb and cornerback Xavien Howard are not in this game for the Dolphins’ defense. Eli Apple has had a good season for the Dolphins thus far as he has 46 total tackles (37 solo, nine assisted) with 0.5 sacks, one interception and nine pass deflections.
It will be critical for the Miami Dolphins to get him back on the field as soon as possible, if he is able to return to the game at all.
Can the Miami Dolphins win this game against the Kansas City Chiefs if Eli Apple is out?
The Miami Dolphins are the sixth seed in the AFC Playoff and going up against the Kansas City Chiefs is never a good sign for the opposition. However, wide receiver Tyreek Hill is making his return to Arrowhead Stadium after spending his first six years with the Chiefs. The Dolphins are playing in one of the coldest games in NFL postseason history, which is difficult to see a southern Florida team be successful in.
However, there is a reason why the Dolphins are here and won 11 games in the regular season. If the Dolphins can get going and begin to get some offensive continuity, they have a chance to win this game and be a force in the AFC on the road for the entire playoff run.
