Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn saw his first start and offensive snaps of the 2024 season about 14 months after his 2023 season was cut short.
Wynn was the first right guard in last Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers, but he was in a rotation with Liam Eichenberg, who started the first 14 games at that spot.
MIAMI — The sense of dread proved all too real Tuesday, with the Miami Heat announcing that guard Dru Smith sustained a season-ending torn left Achilles tendon in Monday night’s victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
Having recently emerged as a prime rotation component in his comeback from his season-ending knee injury a year ago, Smith was helped off the court with 8:18 left in Monday night’s second quarter, a collective shudder enveloping Kaseya Center.
For his coach and teammates, this was more than a player on a two-way contract going down.

“First, school libraries have not historically communicated messages from the state.
