Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Kion Smith will miss the 2024 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, multiple sources reported Saturday.
Smith was injured during Miami’s second drive of its preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, which he started at left guard.
The Dolphins placed Smith on injured reserve and signed offensive lineman Chasen Hines, whom Miami had waived last Wednesday.
Smith, 25, was expected to serve as a backup for the Dolphins this season as a tackle – his primary position – and guard.
Smith went undrafted in 2021 before signing with Miami that September. He saw his first NFL action last season, getting 70 snaps on offense and 45 more on special teams over nine games.
Hines, 24, was a sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2022. He has not appeared in an NFL game.
