Dolphins' Jevon Holland: Gets pick-six before hurting knee
Rotowire
Holland (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.
Holland got hurt in the second half. Prior to getting injured, Holland registered a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown on the final play of the first half as Jets quarterback Tim Boyle attempted an ill-advised Hail Mary. The safety also had five solo tackles.
Holland (concussion) was left off the Dolphins' initial Week 9 injury report released Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the team's official site reports.
Holland sat out the Dolphins' Week 8 win over the Patriots after entering the protocol upon sustaining the head injury in a Week 7 loss to Philadelphia. According to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, head coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Wednesday that Holland cleared the protocol, and the 23-year-old's omission from the Week 9 injury report confirms that he returned to practice as a full participant. With the head injury in the rear-view mirror, Holland should reprise his starting role at safety alongside DeShon Elliott in Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany. Through seven games this season, Holland has tallied 52 tackles, three pass breakups and three forced fumbles.

Dolphins' Jevon Holland: Gets in limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Holland (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
After missing practice Wednesday, Holland was able to upgrade to limited participation for Thursday's session. It seems there's still work to do to clear the league's concussion protocol though, and if he doesn't practice in full Friday, he'll probably carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Dolphins' Jevon Holland: Forces two fumbles in rout
Rotowire
Holland recorded eight tackles (seven solo), a pass defensed and two forced fumbles in Sunday's 70-20 win versus the Broncos.
Holland is reminding the league why he's one of football's most feared safeties through three weeks, and he showed off his exceptional nose for the ball in Week 3 by punching it out of Courtland Sutton's arms twice, creating two turnovers. He's easily on pace for the first 100-tackle season of his career and looks like a prime beneficiary of new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's scheme.

Dolphins' Jevon Holland: Listed as limited participant
Rotowire
Holland is listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation due to a neck injury, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Holland played every defensive snap for a third consecutive week during Sunday's win over the Bills, but he's apparently dealing with a neck injury a day later. However, it's somewhat encouraging he was estimated as a limited participant as opposed to missing the session altogether ahead of Thursday's game against the Bengals. Versus Buffalo, Holland was sensational with 10 tackles (one solo), 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups. He also had a forced fumble.

Dolphins' Jevon Holland: Could start immediately
Rotowire
Holland appears primed to begin his NFL career as a starter, with the Dolphins having cut Bobby McCain, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
The Dolphins made Holland the first safety off the board by selecting him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, No. 36 overall, and cutting McCain can be interpreted as a clear indication of the rookie's immediate readiness. In the event that Holland doesn't progress as quickly as expected during offseason activities, he could face competition for the starting gig from Brandon Jones.
