Miami will be without a key starter, and fans will have to wait until Sunday to see if others will join him. 

The Dolphins released their final practice report on Friday ahead of the team's first divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The notable absence for Sunday will be LB Jaelan Phillips, who couldn't manage even a limited practice showing while recovering from an oblique injury. 

The list shrunk from 11 to 9 because the team announced they put WR River Cracraft on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, putting him on the shelf for at least the next 4 games.  WR Erik Ezukanma was also placed on reserve/non-football injury list with a neck injury. 

Fortunately for Miami, the WR corps will get a huge boost with the return of Jaylen Waddle from concussion protocol.  Robbie Chosen should also see added reps with Cracraft and Ezukanma out of action.  

Miami has four players officially questionable with RB Salvon Ahmed, T Terron Armstead, S DeShon Elliott, and C Connor Williams all logging no more than limited practices all week.  Their status will be clarified on Sunday, although Armstead managed to play through limited practices and a questionable status for last week's game. 

The Dolphins will also have their full complement of tight ends, as all Durham Smythe, Julian Hill, and Tyler Kroft all logged full practices on Friday and avoided a game designation.
