Jake Long - T - Miami Dolphins
Dec. 4, 2012 - 7:00 PM ET

Dolphins placed LT Jake Long (triceps) on injured reserve, ending his season.

The No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft will end up missing six games total in the past two seasons. He's battled up arm injuries since 2010, which may explain the dropoff in his effectiveness. Long is due to hit free agency in the offseason. It would cost the organization over $15 million to apply the franchise tag, which could signal the end of his Dolphins career. Long's agent will like try to set the market with his next contract.
