Out Week 2 Roberts (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Roberts played 40 defensive snaps and had four tackles before suffering the concussion in the season opener. The Dolphins have a short turnaround for Week 3 as they play the Jaguars on Thursday, so the 26-year-old won't have much additional time to clear the concussion protocol. Kamu Grugier-Hill is likely to have an increased role alongside Jerome Baker in his absence Week 2.

Rivers could earn an expanded role if he can stay healthy following the offseason departures of Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins and Elandon Roberts, but his injury issues to this point make him difficult to rely on.
