Grant (leg) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Sunday with a designation to return.
Grant sustained a leg injury in mid-August, and he will now be sidelined for at least four games to open the regular season while on IR. In his absence, Jordan Phillips and Zach Sieler (undisclosed) will likely handle the lion's share of the workload at defensive tackle for Miami.

Rotowire
Grant (leg) could miss the Dolphins' opening game against the Raiders, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
Grant is currently labeled as week-to-week by coach Jeff Hafley. The 2025 first-rounder suffered the leg injury in mid-August. While Grant may not be able to start Week 1, fellow defensive tackle Zach Sieler (undisclosed) should be good to go. If Grant cannot play, Jordan Phillips will likely start next to Sieler against the Raiders.

Grant (undisclosed) did not appear on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the team's official site reports.
Grant has been dealing with an undisclosed injury over the last two weeks, but he is now back to full health before Week 1. The 21-year-old will likely operate as the top reserve option behind Benito Jones and Zach Sieler on Miami's defensive line in Sunday's regular-season opener versus the Colts.

Dolphins' Kenneth Grant: On track to play Week 1
Rotowire
Head coach Mike McDaniel relayed Monday that Grant (undisclosed) is not in danger of missing the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
The 2025 first-rounder has been working through an undisclosed issue, which prevented him from playing in the Dolphins' preseason finale against the Jaguars on Saturday. The nature of Grant's injury isn't clear, but his practice participation over the next two weeks will provide clarity on his chances of making his NFL regular-season debut in Week 1. He should see a heavy dose of rotational snaps at defensive tackle alongside presumptive starters Benito Jones and Zach Sieler.
