Austin Jackson, Miami’s Starting Offensive Tackle since his selection in the 2020 NFL draft, has cleared COVID-19 protocols. He will be available for Miami during their game today against the New England Patriots. Over the last week, both Miami’s backup options had missed time at practice; Liam Eichenberg (Miami’s 42nd overall pick in the 2021 Draft) is nursing a thigh injury he suffered last month, and Greg Little (brought over in a trade from Carolina) missed time due to a non-COVID related illness.
