Colts QB Hasselbeck out with shoulder injury

So far, it’s been Whitehurst’s only throw in the game.

According to oddsmakers from online sports book RealBet.eu, the Dolphins are 2.5-point home favorites versus the Colts after opening as a 1.5-point favorite.

The Colts quarterback left Sunday’s matchup against the Dolphins with a shoulder injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (5-9): After accumulating seven touchdowns during a three-game stretch in November, Ryan Tannehill has reached the end zone only twice this month and thrown for just 538 yards in three outings.

Hasselbeck was 8 of 15 for 99 yards when he exited the game.

Hasselbeck suffered the injury after he took a hit from Dolphins tackle Jordan Phillips on a pass attempt to tight end Dwayne Allen. After calling the team together, Wannstedt jumped on Smith’s back and yelled, “You carried us all season”.

On the season, the Miami Dolphins average 231.0 yards in passing and 261.8 yards in rushing. While the Colts are fairly beaten up, Pagano has not conceded this season. The point total is set at 43.5 for these teams, indicating that Vegas sees this outcome as a closer affair. He has been good for just 179 yards per game over his past three, while managing just two TDs.

The Dolphins could opt to hand the ball off more to Jay Ajayi given that he played in front of Lamar Miller while finishing with 27 yards on six carries, with a TD against San Diego. Also joining them is center Mike Pouncey who has a foot/ankle problem.
