Malik Willis Injured, Latest Rumors on Dolphins QB's Timeline to Return from Groin Issue

The Miami Dolphins will be without starting quarterback Malik Willis for at least a month.

The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reported that Willis has been battling a groin injury that developed into a core muscle injury, so he will be placed on injured reserve. The injury is not considered season-ending, but he will miss at least the next four weeks. Second-year quarterback Kyle McCord will make his first career start on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
