Kiko Alonso had thumb surgery this week, but that might not be the thing that keeps him off the field this week against the Cardinals.

According to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins linebacker is also dealing with a hamstring strain which might be the thing that knocks him out.

He initially tweaked the hamstring in practice last week and aggravated it during the Ravens game, the same one in which he broke his thumb. And because of that, he isn’t sure he’ll be able to go this week.

“Right now, I don’t know,” Alonso said. “We’re going to day by day. Today I felt good. We’ll see.”

Alonso said a decision on whether he can play or not will be made him coaches, medical staff and himself. He’s wearing a large cast, but still has use of four fingers on his hand. But the hamstring might make that a moot point.
