Out for the year
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Duck (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win and was carted off the field. Although McDaniel didn't specify the exact nature of his injury, Duck is expected to miss the rest of the season. The Louisville product has appeared in just two games this season due to a prior ankle injury, recording two total tackles and one pass defended. In his absence, JuJu Brents is likely to take on an expanded role as one of the Dolphins' top reserve outside corners.

ANALYSIS
Duck was carted off the field after sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter. The starting cornerback had already missed the Dolphins' last six games due to an ankle injury, making his second start of the year Sunday.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Duck (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck missed the Dolphins' last six games due to an ankle injury, including Sunday against the Browns despite being a full participant in practice during Week 7 prep. His full practice Wednesday indicates that he is trending toward being available for Week 8 against the Falcons, though that may not be officially confirmed until the Dolphins announce their final practice report with injury designations Friday.
Oct 19, 2025
Inactive again
Duck (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Despite being a full participant at each practice during Week 7 prep, Duck will be inactive for a sixth straight game due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 1. Rasul Douglas is expected to start opposite Jack Jones until Duck is cleared to suit up.
Oct 17, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Duck (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite practicing in full all week, Duck is in jeopardy of missing his sixth consecutive game due to an ankle injury sustained in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts. If active, he's expected to serve as one of the team's top outside corners. However, if he's sidelined again, Rasul Douglas is likely to start opposite Jack Jones in Miami's secondary.
Oct 15, 2025
Past ankle injury
Duck (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck was sidelined for the Dolphins' last five games due to an ankle injury that he sustained in Week 1 against the Colts. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he has recovered from the injury and is on track to make his return against the Browns on Sunday, barring any setbacks. Duck could reclaim his starting role at outside corner opposite Jack Jones, which would result in veteran Rasul Douglas reverting to a rotational role in the secondary.
Oct 12, 2025
Not playing Sunday
Duck (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback will miss his fifth straight contest. Rasul Douglas has played in 95 percent or more of the defensive snaps in every game that Duck has missed, and the veteran should be in line to play a starting role again Sunday.
Oct 10, 2025
Questionable for Week 6
Duck (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck hasn't played since injuring his ankle Week 1. If cleared to suit up Sunday, Duck would likely reclaim a starting role at cornerback, relegating Rasul Douglas to a depth role.
Oct 3, 2025
Won't return Week 5
Duck (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Week 5 will mark the fourth consecutive game that Duck will miss due to a ankle injury that he suffered in the Dolphins' regular-season opener against Indianapolis. Veteran Rasul Douglas will continue to start at outside corner opposite Jack Jones for as long as Duck is sidelined. Duck will shift his focus towards returning to practice next week and being available for the Dolphins' Week 6 home clash against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 12.
Sep 27, 2025
Officially out for Monday
Duck (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old will miss his third consecutive game after sustaining an ankle injury in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts. In Duck's absence, veteran Rasul Douglas is expected to step in and start opposite Jack Jones in Miami's secondary.
Sep 22, 2025
Unlikely to play Week 4
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Duck is "progressing" through his ankle injury but "is almost ruled out" for the Dolphins' Week 4 AFC East clash against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck suffered an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts. The injury has prevented him from suiting up the last two games and appears likely that Duck will not be able to play against the Jets, but he could be cleared to return Week 5 against the Panthers on Sunday, Veteran corner Rasul Douglas will continue to see additional playing time at outside corner opposite Jack Jones for as long as Duck is sidelined.
Sep 17, 2025
Ruled out to face Bills
Duck (ankle) is ruled out for Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck hasn't yet resumed practicing since leaving the field early due to an ankle injury Week 1. His next opportunity to retake the field will come Week 4 against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29. With Duck still unavailable, veteran Rasul Douglas will again handle expanded defensive snaps at outside cornerback Thursday versus the Bills.
Sep 16, 2025
Still nursing ankle injury
Duck (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck continues to nurse an ankle injury that he suffered during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts. He's opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and he would have to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday in order to have a chance at playing against the Bills on Thursday. Veteran Rasul Douglas will continue to see extended work at outside corner for as long as Duck is sidelined.
Sep 12, 2025
Won't play vs. Patriots
Duck (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus New England, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Duck won't be able to suit up in Week 2. There's still no concrete timeline for his return from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 1 at Indianapolis, and until he's back on the field, veteran Rasul Douglas figures to see an increased workload on the boundary.
Sep 8, 2025
Out indefinitely
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Duck (ankle) is expected to miss a couple weeks, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck sustained an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's blowout loss to the Colts, but it appears he avoided a season-ending issue. The second-year corner played 29 defensive snaps before exiting, recording three total tackles and one pass defended. Miami's secondary was already bleak heading into the season, so Rasul Douglas and Ethan Bonner (hamstring) will likely have their hands full while filling in for Duck.
Sep 7, 2025
Won't return Sunday
Duck (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 1 game against Indianapolis, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck was injured during the first half and was replaced at cornerback by Rasul Douglas, who would likely slide into a starting role if Duck needs to miss additional time. Duck recorded two tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass prior to his exit.
Sep 7, 2025
Hurts ankle, questionable to return
Duck exited Sunday's Week 1 game against the Colts due to an ankle injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck exited the field after getting hurt in the first half and subsequently took a cart to the locker room. Rasul Douglas has replaced him at cornerback.
Jan 16, 2025
Three starts in rookie season
Duck finished the 2024 regular season with 35 tackles (24 solo) and four pass defenses across 14 games.
ANALYSIS
Duck signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in May of 2024. He earned a spot on the 53-man roster after a strong showing in training camp, and he managed to see meaningful playing time with the Dolphins' first-team defense due to injuries to Cam Smith (shoulder) and Kendall Fuller (knee). With Fuller and Jalen Ramsey projected to be the Dolphins' outside corner for 2025, Duck will likely revert to a special-teams role in 2025, though he could compete with Kader Kohou for the starting slot corner job.
Nov 10, 2024
Good to go Monday
Duck (ankle) carries no injury designation into Monday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Duck has missed the Dolphins' last two regular-season games due to an ankle injury, but he will be available for Monday's contest. The 23-year-old has recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defense across six regular-season games.
Nov 8, 2024
Limited in practice Thursday
Duck (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck has missed the Dolphins' last two regular-season games due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 7 against the Colts. He's opened the week with consecutive limited practices, which gives him a chance at making his return against the Rams on Monday. Across six regular-season games, Duck has logged 11 tackles (eight solo) and one pass breakup.
Nov 3, 2024
Inactive for Week 9
Duck (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Duck was unable to practice Wednesday but got in limited sessions Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable. He'll miss his second straight game after missing Week 8 against Arizona.
Oct 27, 2024
Won't play vs. Arizona
Duck (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Duck wasn't able to practice all week due to an ankle injury he picked up in Week 7 against the Colts. The 23-year-old corner will continue to work his way through the injury and aim to return for Week 9 against Buffalo on Sunday, Nov. 3.
Oct 25, 2024
Deemed doubtful for Sunday
Duck (ankle) is doubtful to play in Sunday's Week 8 contest versus Arizona, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Duck suffered an ankle injury last Sunday versus Indianapolis and didn't practice at all this week. As a result, he's unlikely to suit up against the Cardinals. Duck played just five defensive snaps versus 24 special-teams snaps over Miami's previous two games, so his absence may not impact the team's defensive game plan.
Oct 20, 2024
Won't return vs. Indy
Duck (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Siran Neal will be the primary backup at corner for the rest of Sunday's game with Duck sidelined. Duck will finish his day with one solo tackle.
Oct 20, 2024
Exits game with ankle injury
Duck is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Duck logged one solo tackle before leaving Sunday's game. He's mostly contributed on special teams this season, though if he's unable to return, Siran Neal would be the lone backup corner behind starters Kendall Fuller and Jalen Ramsey.
Sep 29, 2024
Ready to go for MNF
Duck (shoulder) was not included on the Dolphins' final injury report prior to Monday's matchup with the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Duck sustained a shoulder injury in the team's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 3, but he now appears to be ready to go for Miami's contest with Tennessee on Monday Night Football. The cornerback has compiled seven total tackles (four solo) over three games in 2024.
Sep 22, 2024
Exits Sunday's contest
Duck left Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks with a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Duck recorded five tackles (two solo) before exiting. The backup cornerback replaced Kendall Fuller after the latter left with a concussion. Miami's left cornerback situation appears uncertain heading into Week 4.
