DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Nate Garner was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a left foot injury, meaning he will miss the season.
Garner underwent surgery more than two weeks ago. He started eight games at guard last year and had been listed as a backup tackle during training camp.
Defensive end Phillip Merling was placed on the reserve non-football injury list Tuesday. He suffered an Achilles' tendon injury in July.
