The Miami Dolphins sit at 1-7 entering Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season, last in the AFC East, with an offense ranked near the bottom in points and yards while the defense has shown incremental improvement under first-year coordinator Sean Duggan. Recent developments include placing starting quarterback Malik Willis on injured reserve with a groin injury, forcing Kyle McCord into the lineup, and losing veteran defensive tackle Zach Sieler for the season to a ruptured biceps. Earlier losses of running back De’Von Achane to a season-ending knee injury and other roster depth have compounded challenges for the league’s youngest team in a rebuild. The remaining schedule features road games against the Colts, Bills, Broncos, and Packers, limiting realistic paths to additional wins. Trader consensus on the win total reflects these roster and situational constraints.
