Dolphins' Malik Willis: Surgery not ruled out
The Dolphins hope Willis (abdomen) will return this year but haven't ruled out season-ending surgery, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
With that in mind, coach Jeff Hafley noted that Willis had an MRI to assess his core muscle injury, and will continue to explore medical opinions. The team already placed Willis on injured reserve, ruling him out through Week 13. The latest report suggests that it's still unclear whether Willis will miss four games, the rest of the season or something in between. Kyle McCord is taking over at QB for the Dolphins in the meantime, with Hafley on Wednesday noting of Willis' job security in general, "he'll be the starting quarterback if he returns."

Dolphins' Malik Willis: Expected back this season
Though Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Wednesday that he doesn't have a timetable for the potential return of Willis (abdomen), he does expect the QB back at some point this season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
What is known is that the earliest Willis is eligible to be activated from IR is ahead of Miami's Week 14 game against the Bears. Of course, with the team's record at this stage standing at 1-7, there's no compelling reason to rush Willis back. In his absence, Kyle McCord is next in line for QB1 duties, with Brady Cook a candidate to be summoned from the practice squad leading up to this weekend's game against the Colts.

Dolphins' Malik Willis: Move to IR official
The Dolphins placed Willis (core) on injured reserve Tuesday.
As anticipated, Miami elected to move Willis to IR after an MRI on Monday revealed that his lingering groin issue and developed into a more concerning core-muscle injury that would require some time off. Willis is expected to treat the injury with a regimen of rest and rehab, leaving the Dolphins optimistic that he'll be able to return to action before the end of the season. With his move to IR keeping him sidelined for at least the next four games, however, the Dolphins will move forward with second-year player Kyle McCord as their new starting quarterback in the interim.

Dolphins' Malik Willis: Headed for IR with core-muscle injury
The Dolphins are expected to place Willis on injured reserve after an MRI on Monday revealed a core-muscle injury, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Willis had been battling a groin injury and received regular treatment over the past two weeks, and while the issue hadn't affected his availability for practices, it impacted his mobility in games. With the MRI revealing that the groin concern has morphed into a core-muscle injury, the Dolphins will opt to shut him down through at least Week 14, but the team expects him to return before the end of the season. Kyle McCord will step in for Willis as the Dolphins' new starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Dolphins' Malik Willis: Pedestrian numbers in Week 9 loss
Willis completed 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added two rushes for seven yards in the Dolphins' 19-9 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Willis was back under 200 passing yards for the first time in three games, and he failed to throw at least one touchdown pass for the first time since Week 4. The 2022 third-round pick connected with seven different targets overall, and following the game, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reported that Willis was dealing with both groin tightness and a tight hamstring during the game. Willis and the Dolphins' Week 10 matchup is a Colts team that could trade away multiple key players before Tuesday's deadline.

Dolphins' Malik Willis: Tosses two TDs in loss to Pats
Willis completed 21 of 32 passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 24-19 loss to New England. He gained two rushing yards on his only carry.
The 27-year-old QB hit Malik Washington for a one-yard score just before halftime to give the Dolphins a 13-3 lead, but Willis' 35-yard strike to Kevin Coleman late in the fourth quarter was too little, too late after the Patriots dominated the second half. After throwing just one touchdown over the first four games of the season, Willis has a 5:3 TD:INT in the last three contests while also adding two scores on the ground. He'll likely need to be even more productive in Week 9 as he attempts to keep pace with Jared Goff and the Lions.
