  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Activated from IR

    The Dolphins activated Louis (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Louis returned to practice Wednesday when the Dolphins opened his 21-day window. The safety is set to play in Sunday's divisional bout with the Jets after missing the last four games due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Raiders.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Returns to practice Wednesday

    The Dolphins opened the 21-day practice window for Louis (knee) on Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Louis progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be cleared to practice Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in his return. He'll likely need to log consecutive full practices before being activated from IR, but there's a chance that he is given the green light to play against the Jets on Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder's return would bolster the Dolphins' depth in the secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Placed on injured reserve

    The Dolphins placed Louis (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Louis is set to miss a few weeks due to the knee injury he suffered in last Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders. The Dolphins' defensive back will need to miss at least four games before he can return from IR. With Louis sidelined, Dante Trader is set to be the starting strong safety for the team.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Will miss multiple weeks

    Louis (knee) will miss a few weeks after exiting Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders early, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday.

    Louis suffered an MCL sprain, and the strong safety will not be able to return to the Dolphins for the Week 2 matchup against the 49ers. The fourth-round rookie was set to be a key piece on both the defensive and special teams units for the Dolphins. In Louis' absence, Julius Wood may be expected to cover some of the young players' responsibilities.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Set to miss at least one contest

    Louis (knee) is expected to miss the Dolphins' Week 2 matchup against the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Louis suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders, and he will now be sidelined for at least one contest moving forward. The rookie logged three snaps on defense and 14 snaps with the special-teams unit before his departure in Week 1, and his absence will likely have little impact on the team's defensive approach versus San Francisco.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Won't return to Week 1 contest

    Louis (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus Las Vegas, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Louis was ruled out in the second half Sunday during his NFL debut. His absence will primarily affect Miami's special-teams unit.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Leaves game with knee injury

    Louis (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    It's unclear when Louis picked up the injury, but he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Michael Taaffe will be the top rotational option at safety behind starters Dante Trader and Zayne Anderson for as long as Louis is sidelined.

  • Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Heads to Miami

    The Dolphins selected Louis in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 138th overall.

    The Dolphins took a linebacker for the second time this draft, as they previously scooped Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech at pick No. 43. Louis is an interesting prospect. He's quite small for an NFL linebacker at 6-foot, 220 pounds, but he's a fantastic athlete with a 4.53 40-yard dash and a 39.5-inch vertical jump. Louis showcased impressive range in college at Pittsburgh, piling up stats at both linebacker and in coverage. Over his final two seasons, he generated 182 tackles, 24.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks, 12 pass breakups and six interceptions. Louis isn't expected to line up in the box on every snap in the NFL because of his size, but he's a fluid player who rarely missed tackles in college. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley likely has a vision for Louis as a versatile defender.
