The Miami Dolphins stepped onto the field for their Week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts already down a man, with starting center Aaron Brewer out in concussion protocol. But what happened next in Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, November 15, 2026, just piled on the bad news, creating a major headache for Miami.
Andrew Meyer Down, Depth Evaporates
Andrew Meyer, who was filling in for Brewer, had been doing a solid job handling the center duties for most of the game. You never want to see a backup go down, especially when they are already filling in for a starter. But that’s exactly what happened in the fourth quarter. Meyer took a hit during a one-yard completion between backup quarterback Kyle McCord and third-string running back Jaylen Wright. The specific play doesn’t matter as much as the immediate consequence: Meyer was sidelined with an injury. Talk about a brutal break right when the game is on the line.
A Backup For The Backup: Jarrett Kingston Steps Up
With Meyer out of the game, the Dolphins were in a truly rough spot. Who even plays center when your starter and your backup are both out? Enter Jarrett Kingston. Kingston is typically a backup guard and tackle, not a center. Yet, he was forced into the middle of the offensive line, trying to snap the ball in a critical moment. The source doesn’t mince words: this is an “ugly situation for Miami.” It’s not just about one player being down, it’s about a complete collapse of depth at a crucial position, forcing a player out of his natural role in the heart of the game.
What happens now with Kingston at center for the rest of this game? Can he hold the line? This kind of unexpected shift can throw an entire offense out of sync, and it’s something the Dolphins absolutely did not need against the Colts.
