The Miami Dolphins didn’t trade a single player at the NFL trade deadline, but their path toward a top draft pick may have become even clearer. Zach Sieler is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a torn biceps, while Malik Willis is headed to injured reserve for at least four games.

Wes Goldberg explains why Miami may be pulling off the ideal rebuilding season: keep veteran leaders like Jordyn Brooks and Aaron Brewer, continue developing young players and still remain near the top of the draft order. Unlike other rebuilding teams, the Dolphins didn’t gut their roster—they may simply keep losing because of injuries.
