Omar Kelly of All Dolphins and Sports Illustrated reports a knee injury suffered Monday Night vs the Titans, which will likely end Connor Williams’s season.
Per Kelly, “Miami Dolphins starting center Connor Williams suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury that will likely end his 2023 season and could impact his free agency.
Williams, who has started 26 games at center for the Dolphins since joining the team as a free agent in 2022, got his left knee rolled up under by a Tennessee Titans defender in Monday night’s game, and it’s believed that he suffered a ligament tear.”
Liam Eichenberg is expected to take over at center for the rest of the season, we will see if Miami looks to make a move to add another offensive linemen or if they give another player work at back-up center.
UPDATE: Mike McDaniel confirmed this news on Tuesday at his press conference. Connor Williams is out for the remainder of the season.

More on this story as it develops.
Well, there goes the O-line. You cannot get to, much less win a Super Bowl with Liam Eichenberg as your center. Can’t happen. They should have got a real backup center when Williams started complaining about his contract during camp.
can’t win without a serious coach, or serious team either.
