He ran less than usual against the New England Patriots on Nov. 1, managing one attempt for 2 yards, but downplayed how much it was affecting him. That changed after Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions, where he was visibly hindered and couldn't escape pressure from Detroit's defensive front the way he normally does. At one point he jogged to the sideline despite having open space to pick up extra yardage.\n\nWillis said after the game his groin \"felt a little tight,\" and coach Jeff Hafley agreed, saying you could see he wasn't able to open up and wasn't quite able to go full speed, though he credited Willis for still finding ways to escape trouble against a good defensive line.\n\nWillis has completed 121 of 208 passes for six touchdowns and six interceptions this season. Kyle McCord will now start at quarterback for Miami.","published_at":"2026-11-11T00:18:23.830842+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins QB Malik Willis to IR as groin injury worsens; Kyle McCord to start at QB","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dolphins-qb-malik-willis-ir-214400874.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"What We Know About Dolphins Placing QB Malik Willis On Injured Reserve","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/malik-willis-injured-reserve-dolphins-quarterbacks"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Dolphins place QB Malik Willis on IR with core muscle injury","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-dolphins-to-place-qb-malik-willis-on-ir-with-core-muscle-injury"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins QB Malik Willis is playing through an injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dolphins-qb-malik-willis-playing-175451205.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins get bad news as Malik Willis' groin injury leads to unfortunate roster move","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dolphins-bad-news-malik-willis-205746438.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins move Malik Willis to IR","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dolphins-move-malik-willis-ir-205833782.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins place QB Malik Willis on IR with core muscle injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dolphins-place-qb-malik-willis-205956298.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins add QB Malik Willis to IR due to lingering groin injury; Kyle McCord expected to start vs. Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/dolphins-add-qb-malik-willis-to-ir-due-to-lingering-groin-injury-kyle-mccord-expected-to-start-vs-colts-210705783.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dolphins placing QB Malik Willis on injured reserve, sidelining him at least 4 games","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dolphins-placing-qb-malik-willis-211835600.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Malik Willis injury update as Dolphins QB lands on IR with groin issue","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/malik-willis-injury-dolphins-qb-214828352.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Miami Dolphins Place QB Malik Willis on Injured Reserve with Groin Injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/miami-dolphins-place-qb-malik-214139467.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Malik Willis Gets Positive Silver Lining After Heading to IR","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/malik-willis-gets-positive-silver-004038675.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/5a8f1ff/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F1013%2F482%2Fnbc_pftpm_miamidetroit_261108.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
