The Miami Dolphins announced Wednesday that cornerback Nik Needham and linebacker Trey Flowers were both placed on injured reserve.
Needham tore his Achilles in Sunday’s loss against the Vikings, which means he will miss the rest of the season. Flowers was also injured against Minnesota, but the team is yet to announce how long he is expected to be out with a foot injury.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported in May that up to eight players per team can return from injured reserve. Players are eligible to return after missing four games.
