Jevon Holland injury update: A broken hand could cost the Dolphins’ safety playing time

The Miami Dolphins beat the New England Patriots on Sunday, but the threat of injuries continues to wreak havoc on the Dolphins’ roster in 2024. Running back De’Von Achane left the game with a concussion, placing him in the league’s protocols for a head injury as the team enters its bye week. As Achane prepares to be cleared to return, he could be ready to play when the team gets back on the field in two weeks. It’s another injury that could become a bigger deal for the Dolphins.

Safety Jevon Holland left the game in the fourth quarter with a reported hand injury. The Dolphins considered his return questionable, but he never returned to the game. After the game, Miami Herald columnist Omar Kelly reported that Holland’s hand was in a cast and there was talk of surgery.

Later Sunday night, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport supported Kelly’s initial report, adding that Holland suffered “a broken bone in his hand.”

Holland missed several games last season due to injuries to both knees. Depending on the severity of the fracture and the need for surgery, he could be out for the next few weeks or even the rest of the year.

Jordan Poyer, the other starting safety for Miami, was sidelined Sunday with a shin injury.

Holland had five tackles and one pass defended against the Patriots before leaving the game. He now has 22 tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble this season.
