The Dolphins will go into Week 10 without Aaron Brewer, and that is a significant change for a road game against the Colts. Brewer has entered concussion protocol and will miss the contest, leaving Andrew Meyer expected to take over at center.
This is an injury-related adjustment, not a roster shake-up, but it still matters. Center is one of the most important communication roles on the field, and the Dolphins now have to lean on the only other center on the roster.
Meyer steps in at center
Andrew Meyer was signed by the Dolphins after going undrafted in the 2024 draft, and he now looks set for a much bigger job in Indianapolis. He started one game in 2025 and has appeared in six games total, so the opportunity is there, but the experience level remains limited.
That is where this Week 10 game becomes more than just another lineup note. The Dolphins need continuity in the middle, and Meyer will be asked to provide it under real pressure against the Colts.
McCord gets his first NFL start
The changes do not stop there. Kyle McCord will make his first NFL start in the same game, and he has spent much of the season working with Meyer on the scout team.
That connection could help the Dolphins as they adjust, but it also underlines how much new responsibility is being handed out in one week. With Brewer unavailable for at least four weeks, the Dolphins will be judged on how quickly the new combination settles in.
The immediate answer is simple: Meyer should handle the center job against the Colts. The broader question is whether the Dolphins can protect enough stability up front while one of their key starters recovers.
