Here’s the latest installment of our Miami Dolphins Q&A, where South Florida Sun Sentinel writers David Furones and Chris Perkins answer questions from readers.Q: David, [General manager Chris] Grier can’t be serious putting that level of faith in Austin Jackson to label him the starting RT from this far out without bringing in starting caliber competition for camp. How concerning is this considering that is Tua’s blindside? — Alfonso S., via emailA: It was a bit surprising for Grier to flat-out deem Jackson the starting right tackle this week.It seemed to be going that way with the Dolphins not bringing in a competitor in the first wave of free agency, but one would think the team would at least make the 2020 first-round pick earn the spot in 2023 after a disappointing first three NFL seasons and 2022 campaign where he ended up on injured reserve in each of his two starts.“Yes, the expectation is Austin is the starter at right tackle,” Grier ...

When asked if Ullmark was still feeling the effects of the lower body injury he suffered in the second to last game of the season against Washington when he had to pull himself out of the game in the third period, Montgomery said “I don’t believe so, no.”If Ullmark can’t go, that would mean Jeremy Swayman will get his first start of the playoffs. Brandon Bussi is here as the third goalie.This is the playoffs, of course, in which you must take anything a club says about an unavailable player with a jaundiced eye.
