Miami Dolphins

Jonah Savaiinaea

G

Savaiinaea injured his ankle during the Dolphins' Week 5 loss to the Bengals. The second-year offensive lineman had extra time to recover thanks to the Week 6 bye, and given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, Savaiinaea should start at right guard against the Jets on Sunday.

Kyle Louis

LB

Louis progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be cleared to practice Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in his return. He'll likely need to log consecutive full practices before being activated from IR, but there's a chance that he is given the green light to play against the Jets on Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder's return would bolster the Dolphins' depth in the secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.

JuJu Brents

CB

Brents suffered a stinger in the team's Week 5 loss to the Bengals, but he now appears to be back to 100 percent following the team's bye week. The cornerback will be back in his starting role in Miami's secondary versus the Jets on Sunday.

Will Kacmarek

TE

Kacmarek is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury coming out of Miami's bye week in Week 6. The tight end will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

Justin Joly

TE

Joly was inactive for the team's Week 5 loss to the Bengals while recovering from a concussion, but he now appears to be back to full health after Miami's bye week. The tight end will be back in his depth role behind starter Greg Dulcich on Sunday against the Jets.

Michael Taaffe

S

Taaffe suffered a chest injury in Week 5 versus the Bengals, but he appears to be back to full health after the team's bye week. The 23-year-old is all set to operate in his role as a primary reserve option at safety Sunday against the Jets.

Malik Willis

QB

Willis wasn't spotted throwing in an informal practice during the Dolphins' Week 6 bye due to an unspecified reason, but the thumb issue provides an explanation. After a week off to rest and recover, Willis kicked off Week 7 prep with no limitations and will be ready to start in Sunday's game against the Jets.

Jaylen Wright

RB

According to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Wright looked good in practice despite having his reps managed. Wright has been battling a nagging foot issue for a chunk of the season but has been able to play in both of the last two games. Miami is coming off a Week 6 bye, so Wright should be closer to full health when the team faces off against the Jets this Sunday. He'll likely work in a complementary role behind Ollie Gordon, who averaged 7.0 yards per carry on 27 totes over the past two weeks following De'Von Achane's season-ending knee injury.

Tucker Addington

LS

questionable

Caleb Douglas

WR

The rookie wideout was able to get back on the field in some capacity for the first time since exiting a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. After a three-game absence, Douglas will likely need to turn in at least one full practice during Week 7 prep in order for the Dolphins to clear him to play Sunday against the Jets.

Jared Wayne

WR

Wayne was waived by the Texans on Monday, though he was quickly scooped up by the Dolphins on Tuesday. The 26-year-old appeared in nine regular-season games for Houston across three seasons, totaling six grabs (14 targets) for 65 yards.

Reese Taylor

CB

questionable

Robert Beal Jr.

DE

questionable

Greg Dulcich

TE

Dulcich finished second on the team in catches, and his five targets were third most for Miami. The tight end rebounded nicely after failing to garner a target over 20 offensive snaps in Week 4 against Minnesota's tough defense, and he now has caught 13 of 17 targets for 127 yards over five contests this season.

DJ Campbell

G

Chukwuebuka Godrick

OT

Kaytron Allen

RB

Kevin Coleman Jr.

WR

Coleman finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wide receiver Malik Washington (eight). Coleman's most significant moment in Week 5 came in the fourth quarter when he reeled in a three-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Malik Willis. Coleman has now caught five of 17 targets for 36 yards and a touchdown over five contests this season.

Malik Washington

WR

Washington led the Dolphins across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets during Caleb Douglas' third straight absence because of an ankle injury, although the middle total was relatively modest on an afternoon in which Malik Willis threw for just 137 yards. Washington's catch total was also a new season high, and he's now upped his reception tally over that of the previous week in four consecutive contests. Washington will remain a relevant asset in deeper PPR formats and as a DFS dart throw in a Week 7 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25, following a Week 6 bye.

Ollie Gordon II

RB

Gordon turned in a useful fantasy performance in the lead role once again, even as he navigated a brief exit from the game due to an undisclosed injury in the second half. The second-year back was able to still handle a robust workload despite the Dolphins trailing for the majority of the game, and he finished with a new career high in rush attempts. Gordon also recorded a rushing touchdown for the third straight game when he went in from one yard with just over eight minutes remaining in the first quarter, and he should continue to helm Miami's ground attack in a Week 7 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25, following a Week 6 bye.

Jordyn Brooks

LB

After exiting in the first half with the foot injury, Brooks was given the green light to check back into the contest upon receiving treatment.

Jackson Woodard

LB

Woodard left early in Week 4 but upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday.

Kenneth Grant

DT

Grant opened Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, so Grant's activation from IR means he'll be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut. The 2025 first-rounder figures to operate in a rotational role at defensive tackle behind Jordan Phillips and Zach Sieler.

Dante Trader Jr.

S

Trader opened Week 5 prep with consecutive limited practices, but he avoided an injury tag after logging a full session Friday. The second-year safety has 19 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses (one interception) through the first four games of the regular season.

Chris Bell

WR

Bell has played through a knee issue over the Dolphins' last couple of games, and the rookie third-rounder will do so again Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. He was unable to haul in any of his three targets during Miami's Week 4 loss to Minnesota, but he could see more looks from QB Malik Willis this weekend due to the continued absence of fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (ankle).
