Dolphins Depth Tested as Jackson Misses Practice | Miami Heat News

Miami Dolphins right tackle Austin Jackson’s latest injury has sparked a deeper concern: who steps in when the starter’s sidelined? Coach Jeff Hafley calls it day-to-day, but with Jackson missing practice and a history of injuries, backup depth is critical. Veteran Charlie Heck—proven in 67 games, including six starts last season—is stepping in, showing promise despite room for improvement. Rookie Kadyn Proctor, drafted as a tackle but now learning guard, could be cross-trained if needed, though moving him back to tackle isn’t easy. Proctor sees guard play as a developmental boost. For now, Heck takes over, while Miami focuses on building resilience to protect their offense all season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
