Wide receiver Braxton Berrios's agent told a Miami-based sportscaster Sunday night that his client believes the knee injury he sustained late in the 16-10 loss against the Indianapolis Colts "is significant."

According to agent Drew Rosenhaus, Berrios, the team's return specialist, will have an MRI on his left knee on Monday.

Should Berrios have a serious injury and be forced to miss time, the second-team punt returner is wide receiver Malik Washington, who excelled at the spot in the preseason. The second-team kickoff returner is running back De'Von Achane.

Berrios could be replaced at wide receiver by Dee Eskridge or Erik Ezukanma, who is on the practice squad. Eskridge is the more likely candidate to be signed to the active roster.

HUNTLEY LEAVES GAME WITH SHOULDER INJURY

Quarterback Tyler Huntley, who left the game with a shoulder injury in the third quarter, was evaluated by the team's medical staff and did not return.

After the game, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he did not have any new information on Huntley's injury.

"He's a tough dude. Coming off the field, he was trying to say he was going to be good," McDaniel said. "When the paid professionals that are on our medical team talk to him about the things that he'd have to do, and put him through some strength testing stuff, I think he wasn't. I don't really know the extent of it, but I know it was going to take a lot to keep him out."

Cornerback Storm Duck also left the game early. He sustained an ankle injury and eventually was ruled out.
