Mike McDaniel’s side are in recovery mode after an 8-9 season that saw them miss out on the play-offs for the first time since 2021 despite doing enough to finish second in the AFC East for the third consecutive campaign. Colts head coach Shane Steichen faces his own renovation project with Daniel Jones as starting quarterback and can inject new life into the franchise with a Week 1 win against an ailing Miami team.

Keeping QB1 Tua Tagovailoa fit off the treatment table is priority No. 1 for the Dolphins this year, but it certainly doesn’t help that numerous weapons in his arsenal start the new season with fitness concerns.

De’Von Achane is listed as questionable after two weeks out but assures he’s “100%” ahead of Miami’s opener, though Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Wright and un-retired tight end Darren Waller are each still either questionable or doubtful. 

There are major question marks over Hill’s output this year following a reduced workload in 2024 followed by an alleged oblique injury that caused him to miss effectively all of pre-season.

Nevertheless, it will surprise few to learn Hill himself is adamant he’s the same old talent, and Tagovailoa will need the former world-beater back at his best agains the Colts defense:

Some of my peers seem to think the #Dolphins lowered the number of captains to ensure Tyreek Hill didn’t make the cut. I think Minkah Fitzpatrick would have gotten more votes.

But Hill previously stated he didn’t think he’d be voted a captain again in Miami. pic.twitter.com/Rs4e1wjP9D

As for Indianapolis, another new chapter begins with Jones in the pocket, named as the official starter ahead of Anthony Richardson following his trade from the New York Giants.

Receiver DJ Montgomery, running back Salvon Ahmed and tackles Blake Freeland and Jack Wilson are each on injured reserve, though the Colts are almost fit apart from that quartet.

The Colts won this matchup 16-10 last year, though Tagovailoa was still coming out of concussion protocol at the time and will look to be the difference this time around.
