MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins veteran offensive tackle Kendall Lamm may have played his last snap with the team. Lamm, the Dolphins’ starting right tackle down the stretch this season, was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season ahead of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the New York Jets (4-12). The Dolphins (8-8) can still qualify for the postseason if they win Sunday and have the Denver Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs. Lamm has previously been dealing with a back injury, but he played through the ailment last Sunday in Cleveland, a 20-3 win over the Browns.
