Jalen Tolbert inactive for Dolphins vs. Raiders
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has been designated as inactive for the team's Week 1 clash against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. Miami entered the season-opening contest boasting an uncommonly pristine health status, carrying no injury designations into the matchup and instead basing game-day roster choices purely on tactical decisions.
Tolbert is one of six players sidelined for Miami despite a fully healthy squad guided by Jeff Hafley.
The decision comes amid an overhauled Miami receiving unit following an offseason that saw Tyreek Hill released and Jaylen Waddle dealt to the Denver Broncos, reshaping targets for starting quarterback Malik Willis. The Dolphins also supplemented their active lineup prior to kickoff by promoting a pass rusher from the practice squad to face the Raiders.
