The Miami Dolphins will be without two wide receivers for at least four weeks due to injury. The Dolphins have had a fast start to the season. Much of their success has been on the offensive side of the ball.
The Dolphins dropped 70 points on the Denver Broncos in Week 3. They did that without Jaylen Waddle’s services. Fortunately for the Dolphins, Waddle passed his concussion protocol Friday and should be able to play the Buffalo Bills in Week 4.
The Miami Dolphins lost two wide receivers, including River Cracraft,
But the Dolphins will miss two other wide receivers for the next month. According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, the Dolphins placed River Cracraft on injured reserve. They placed Erik Ezukanma on the reserve/NFI list.

Per a report by Fox Sports, Cracraft sustained a shoulder injury in Week 3, and Ezukanma is dealing with a neck injury that stems from his days in college:
Cracraft injured his shoulder against the Broncos, and the team is still assessing whether his injury will require him to go on injured reserve.
Ezukanma may have re-aggravated a neck injury sustained in college, McDaniel said, but the team is gathering more information on the extent of his injury.
Those are essential pieces of depth the Dolphins will be without for at least the next four games. The team will hope the rest of the corps can stay healthy until Cracraft and Ezukanma can return.
