It’s not the Dolphins’ day today in Miami. Not only do the Dolphins trail the Texans 27-17 during the fourth quarter, they’ve lost RB Ricky Williams to a shoulder injury.
Williams injured his right shoulder during the third quarter and has yet to return. The team later announced his return as questionable, but for now Lex Hilliard has taken over the rushing duties for the Dolphins. Williams had 10 rushes for 35 yards before exiting.
Dolphins OG Justin Smiley has also left the game with an injury, while Texans SS Dominique Barber has also been ruled out for the rest of the game, according to the CBS game broadcast.
