Then, cornerback Artie Burns was seen leaving the practice on crutches, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reported. He injured his knee and the Dolphins fear that Burns tore his ACL during practice, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, 30-year-old cornerback Artie Burns is feared to have torn his ACL during the Dolphins’ practice in Miami Gardens, Florida today.

"Dolphins veteran CB Artie Burns, who injured his knee at practice today and left on crutches, is feared to have a torn ACL, per source," writes ESPN's Adam Schefter on X. "Burns is now awaiting an MRI and second opinion to confirm."

Veteran cornerback Artie Burns reportedly left the practice facility on crutches after suffering a knee injury, according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson. ESPN’s Adam Schefter later learned from a source that the Dolphins fear Burns may have torn his ACL.

ESPN ranks the Miami Dolphins' starting lineup 24th in the NFL due to offseason changes and rookie additions. The Dolphins' biggest strength is their receiving duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, while their biggest weakness is their rebuilt secondary.

Perhaps a 21st century of low achievement finds a bolt of serendipity in year 7 of whatever this rebuild was and produces the single playoff win that should be the bare minimum of what's acceptable for all the hundreds of millions of dollars spent and draft resources allocated to this overhaul.

The Dolphins traded Jalen Ramsey to the Steelers at the beginning of July. Now, they must find his replacement and could very well have someone in mind.

The Miami Dolphins lost experienced DBs after last season. Now the secondary is the team's biggest concern as it prepares to face top QBs.
