Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is focused on the end of the season rather than the result of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He acknowledges the narratives that will arise regardless of the outcome and emphasizes the importance of being at their best during elimination games. The Dolphins will be without starting right guard Rob Hunt due to a hamstring injury, but there is optimism about the potential return of left tackle Terron Armstead from injured reserve. Center Connor Williams continues to work through a groin injury, while safety Brandon Jones remains in the concussion protocol and did not travel with the team.
