Chad Henne Injury: Update on Dolphins Star's Shoulder Injury

Chad Henne has faced turmoil in Miami since he arrived on the Dolphins’ team, but now he has to face the problems that come with getting injured.

During the team’s Week 4 matchup against the San Diego Chargers, Henne had to scramble out of a broken play and was tackled hard on his shoulder.

The Dolphins were forced to take Henne out of the game and replace him with veteran journeyman Matt Moore.

Fantasy Impact

While he wasn’t owned in many standard leagues as anything more than a backup, Henne’s injury could be a big loss in deeper leagues.

This case has to be monitored very closely if you depend on the Dolphins quarterback, but your team is probably in more trouble than just Henne if he was your quarterback.

Who's The Backup?

For the Miami Dolphins, the situation at quarterback is worse now than ever with Henne on the sideline and mediocre quarterback extraordinaire Matt Moore taking the snaps.

Henne needs to get back on the field as soon as possible if the Dolphins want to have any chance of winning this week and in the future.

Devastation Scale

7 out of 10—While there has been no official word, Henne came down hard on his shoulder with the weight of a defender as well. He looked to be grasping the ailing limb as if it were in extreme pain.

The Dolphins have listed him as questionable, and how they are going to handle the quarterback situation from here on out is up to how severe Henne’s injury is.

Timeline for Return

There is no official injury report yet, but the team is calling his return questionable. His time in the team’s Week 4 game looks like it has already come to an end.

If Henne doesn’t get back into the game, the Dolphins will have little hope of pulling out a shocker against the Chargers.
