Dolphins rookie linebacker and UM alum Jordan Tripp, who injured his chest in Thursday’s preseason win against Dallas, is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks.
Specifics of the chest injury are not immediately known. But that timetable means Tripp could miss the first week or two of the regular season.
The fifth-round draft pick out of Montana has stood out since training camp and has seen some work with the first team defense, although he is now entrenched on the second-team. He was drafted as an outside linebacker but the team is also developing him as an inside linebacker.
In spite of the setback, I'm convinced Tripp will make the final 53-man roster for the Dolphins. It sucks that he will miss the opener as he would have played a ton of special teams. I was looking forward to seeing him blow up Pats returner Julian Edelman.
