Some unfortunate news to start the day, Nickel Cornerback Kader Kohou will be placed on injured reserve and will be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Coach Mike McDaniel spoke with the media early this morning before practice and confirmed that Kohou’s 2025 season is over with a partial ACL tear.
Kohou suffered the injury during Miami’s practice on Saturday, July 26.
Dolphins’ entire starting secondary from last season is now gone:

🏈Jalen Ramsey: traded
🏈Kendall Fuller: released
🏈Kader Kohou: out for the season (injury)
🏈Jevon Holland: left in free agency
🏈Jordan Poyer: still a free agent https://t.co/fErQAPdVHV
It is now imperative that the Dolphins will need to hit the waiver wire to add a competent body in the secondary. Rasul Douglas has been a name that has been tied to the team the last coming weeks, along with Asante Samuel Jr, and Stephon Gilmore. The team must sign a respected veteran even though McDaniel said the “position is wide open”. Former Second Round pick Cam Smith is not ready to be a starter on this team; his name has not been mentioned a lot during camp. This is an issue that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
The Dolphins should sign Rasul Douglas in my opinion. He turns 31 in August and has been with the Bills the last couple of years, he know what it takes to win, as Buffalo has made deep playoff runs the last few years. Stay tuned for the post practice article coming soon.
