<p>The Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals have only four days between their Sunday games and the next time they take the field, this Thursday night against each other. With that quick turn around, we've already reached the first injury report of the week.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Dolphins</a> and <a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Cincinnati Bengals</a> hit the field on Monday to prepare for their Thursday Night Football meeting in South Florida on Halloween night. With the game so close, the teams have already had to issue their first injury reports of the week. For Miami, that means listing <span>Brandon Gibson</span>, who tore his patella tendon on Sunday and will be out for the remainder of the season, as a non-participant in practice.</p>
<p>Joining Gibson as player who did not practice for Miami were tackle <span>Jonathan Martin</span> (illness) and tight end <span>Dion Sims</span> (toe). The Bengals, meanwhile, listed cornerback <span>Leon Hall</span> (Achilles), safety <span>Taylor Mays</span> (shoulder), and defensive tackle <span>Devon Still</span> (elbow) as out for Thursday's contest, along with linebacker Mike Boley (hamstring), linebacker <span>Rey Maualuga</span> (concussion/knee), wide receiver <span>Mohamed Sanu</span> (shoulder), and tackle <span>Andrew Whitworth</span> (knee) as non-participants.</p>
<p>The Dolphins did not list anyone as limited in practice, though the Bengals had halfback <span>Rex Burkhead</span> (hamstring) and defensive end <span>Wallace Gilberry</span> (groin) under the designation.</p>
<p>Miami did list cornerback <span>Brent Grimes</span> (quad), tackle <span>Bryant McKinnie</span> (knee), and defensive end <span>Olivier Vernon</span> (knee) as full participants, while Cincinnati left that portion empty.</p>
<p>Kickoff on Thursday is at 8:25pm ET.</p>

<p>The Miami Dolphins are planning to hold a series of workouts for receivers on Tuesday as they look for a replacement for Brandon Gibson. The team's third receiver injured his knee on Sunday against the New England Patriots and underwent surgery today.</p> <p>After playing 10 snaps in yesterday's game against thew <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">New England Patriots</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a> wide receiver <span>Brandon Gibson</span> injured his knee and limped off the field. The team then took him to the locker room and word came that the team feared he was lost for the season.</p>
<p>Earlier today, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed that the veteran receiver will indeed miss the rest of the season, tweeting that<a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/394878673490169856" target="_blank"> Gibson had torn his patella tendon</a> and was undergoing surgery today. Rapoport also tweeted that the team will be <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/394879081566597121" target="_blank">holding tryouts for wide receivers on Tuesday</a>.</p>
<p>No word on the receivers who could be heading to South Florida for the tryouts, and, given the Dolphins' short week as they come back to host the Thursday Night Football game this week, whomever the team signs likely will have no bearing on this week's contest.</p>
<p>But, he would have extra time to learn the playbook between Thursday and team's Monday Night Football game in Week 10.</p>
<p>Of course, the team could also look to <a href="http://www.thephinsider.com/2013/10/28/5037068/nfl-trade-rumors-2013-hakeem-nicks-josh-gordon-larry-fitzgerald" target="_blank">trade for a receiver</a>, including players like <span>Hakeem Nicks</span> or <span>Josh Gordon</span>. Or, they could consider signing a player off of someone's practice squad. One interesting practice squad player to consider is the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a>' Chad Bumphis, who was signed last week. Bumphis spent the preseason with Miami and would already have familiarity with the offense.</p>
<p>At some point tomorrow, a list of try out players will be published, or the team will complete a trade ahead of the 4pm ET. Maybe a transaction will be listed in the official NFL report, meaning the team actually signed someone. Whatever the case, the Dolphins have to do something to make up for the loss of Gibson.</p>
<p>And, with the way he was playing, it's a big loss.</p>

<p>The Miami Dolphins appear to have lost wide receiver Brandon Gibson to a season ending knee injury. He hurt the joint on an awkward jump for an overthrown ball in the first quarter against the New England Patriots.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a> at <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">New England Patriots</a> game started well for <span>Brandon Gibson</span>, continuing his hot streak with another touchdown catch. However, on the next possession, it all came crashing to an end.</p>
<p>Gibson jumped for a pass, and immediately looked at his knee after the play. He then limped to the sideline, where he went to the trainers table before being carted to the locker room. He was then reported as doubtful to return, however, Albert Breer is reporting, it's worse than that:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p>Per source, the initial diagnosis for Dolphins WR Brandon Gibson is that his knee injury is likely season-ending.</p>

<p>The Dolphins have only been carrying four wide receiver on their 53-man roster, so, if this is indeed a season ending injury, the team will likely look to add another receiver. The NFL's trade deadline is this Tuesday, with several wide receivers considered on the market, including <span>Hakeem Nicks</span>, <span>Josh Gordon</span>, <span>Greg Little</span>, and <span>Kenny Britt</span>.</p>

<p>The Miami Dolphins are up early on the New England Patriots, but may have suffered a big loss. Wide receiver Brandon Gibson has been forced to the sideline with a knee injury.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a> took the lead on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">New England Patriots</a> early in the first quarter thanks to a beautiful play from quarterback <span>Ryan Tannehill</span> to receiver <span>Brandon Gibson</span>. Now, however, it appears Gibson may have been injured a few plays later.</p>
<p>The Dolphins were driving down the field on their next possession after the touchdown when Tannehill again targeted Gibson. However, the throw was high and Gibson awkwardly jumped for the ball. He immediately turned to look at his left knee, then limped off the field. As he got to the sideline, he slammed down his helmet and got on the trainers table.</p>
<p>He was then carted to the locker room.</p>
<p>Gibson's been officially reported as doubtful to return by the team.</p>
