Head coach Mike McDaniels told reporters Tuesday that Fuller (concussion) will not play in Week 11 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 17, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Fuller was diagnosed with a concussion during the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.

In Fuller's absence, Cam Smith is the top candidate to get the start at corner in Week 11 opposite Jalen Ramsey.

Dolphins' Kendall Fuller: Finds home in Miami
Rotowire
Fuller (knee) agreed to a two-year, $16.5 million contract with the Dolphins on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
