The Splash Zone 10/19/22: Noah Igbinoghene steps up against Vikings

The Miami Dolphins have been plagued by an injury bug this season and the team took another big hit on Sunday when they lost Nik Needham for the season with a torn Achilles. Kader Kohou, a promising undrafted free agent, was inactive against the Minnesota Vikings and Keion Crossen had to leave the game with a knee injury. This meant Noah Igbinoghene had to step in and it left fans nervous. Igbinoghene has been a disappointment since joining the team as a first round selection back in 2020. Against the Vikings, it started out bad with a pass interference call as soon as he entered the game. But by the end of the game, he did a heck of a job covering Adam Thielen and did not allow a catch on two targets.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
