Apple will be eligible to return Week 18 if the Chargers deem it important for him to do so. He played 47 snaps for the Chargers between three games this year. The 2016 10th overall pick has mostly been on practice squads this year and is essentially just a journeyman corner at this stage of his career.

Apple struggled to career-worst coverage grades in 2022 but brings a veteran presence to the Miami secondary after the newly acquired Jalen Ramsey was lost until at least December. Expect Apple to slot into a depth role in Vic Fangio’s aggressive defensive scheme.

Apple left the field of play with medical staff and was taken to the medical tent after writhing in pain and holding his shoulder. He was checked out and cleared to return to the game, reclaiming his spot in the secondary opposite Cam Taylor-Britt.

Apple was banged into by his own teammate and remained on the field late in the second quarter. He was eventually escorted by team medical staff to the blue medical tent and was replaced by 2022 first-round rookie Dax Hill. Further update on Apple's status will be provided once made available.
