Linebacker Jaelan Phillips was held out last week’s win over the New England Patriots with a back injury, forcing Andrew Van Ginkel to play 61 snaps as an edge rusher.
The former Wisconsin Badgers’ linebacker disrupted New England’s offense with six tackles, three quarterback hits, and a sack in Miami’s 24-17 win. Van Ginkel earned four tackles as Miami’s nickel inside linebacker in Week 1 but was unleashed as a pass rusher against the Patriots.
Russell Wilson was sacked seven times and was hit 14 times last week.
