On today's episode of The Daily Hunt:

I discuss the latest news that Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard is unlikely to suit up this weekend for the Dolphins and what that means for the team moving forward.

The question now is, are the Dolphins openly trying to tank?  Many of us had our suspicions as Miami is set to take on the Washington Redskins in what many believe to be the 'Tank for Tua' Bowl.  How will Miami fare without their shutdown DB?

Brian Flores was asked about Miami's depleted roster a few days ago.

“Yeah, I mean we’ve got a lot of guys who are dinged up. That’s kind of how it is for every team in the league. That’s the game. Guys are dinged up. They’re playing through it. They’re fighting through it. They’re doing everything they can to get back. It’s really par for the course in the National Football League. It’s a hard, aggressive, physical game and guys get dinged up. It’s normal to have a lot of guys on the injury report.

It is anyone's guess as to how the Dolphins will perform on Sunday.  But with two weeks to prepare, you have to believe the team will be hungry to prove the doubters wrong.  If not, it's going to be a long, long season- on Miami's pursuit of the #1 pick and Tua Tagovailoa.
