Dolphins' Austin Jackson to miss few weeks with lower leg injury

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Austin Jackson will miss at least the next few weeks after suffering a lower leg injury.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Jackson was "stepped on" during Friday's practice, but his recovery timeline "doesn't seem to be into the regular season."

Jackson was a first-round pick in 2020 and played his way into one of the team's cornerstone roles, signing a three-year, $36 million extension in 2023. He missed nine games with a meniscus injury last season, but McDaniel said his current injury is unrelated to that one.
