Miami Dolphins rookie Jevon Holland out vs. New York Jets due to illness, source says

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the New York Jets because of an illness, a league source told ESPN.

Holland was placed on Miami's reserve/COVID-19 list this past week but was activated Saturday with the hope of possibly playing Sunday. The Dolphins listed him as questionable, but ultimately, the rookie will miss a game for the first time in his NFL career.

Also missing a game for the first time in his professional career is rookie wideout Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins' leading receiver, who was placed on the COVID-19 list Thursday and did not clear the protocol in time to play against the Jets.
