Defensive tackle Zach Sieler starts among the three Dolphins eliminated Sunday in Buffalo

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins will likely be without four starters when they travel to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Defensive tackle Zach Sieler (eye), tight end Julian Hill (shoulder) and cornerback Kader Kohou (neck) were ruled out Friday afternoon.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Tyreek Hill has been dealing with a foot injury the last few weeks but will continue to play.

Kohou and Sieler will miss their second consecutive game after sustaining a blow to the eye in practice last Thursday. Julian Hill suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of last Sunday’s game against Arizona. None of them have trained this week.

McDaniel said Sieler will wear a visor when he returns to the field. Da’Shawn Hand will likely start Sunday in place of Sieler for the second straight week.

“You need to be able to see, and you don’t want to do anything to your eyes if you can avoid it,” McDaniel said Friday. “If it was just performance-based I think he would probably be there regardless, but you have to prevent him from getting any further injuries and that’s why.”

Safety Jevon Holland likely won’t play after suffering a knee injury against the Cardinals. Holland, who has been treating his hand injury since the 5th week, did not train either.

Jordan Poyer and Marcus Maye are expected to be Miami’s starting safeties.
