Despite losing Jaelan Phillips for the season, the Miami Dolphins’ injury report shows positive developments as they approach Week 5.
When Phillips injured his knee during a play against the Tennessee Titans, it was clear something was wrong, especially after he slammed his helmet in frustration. On Wednesday, the Dolphins confirmed that Phillips would be sidelined for the remainder of the year, adding to the team’s existing injury woes.
Beyond the quarterback situation and Tua Tagovailoa’s return timeline, the Dolphins are facing several injury concerns heading into Week 5. However, there is some good news: five players fully participated in Thursday’s practice.
**UPDATE:** Terron Armstead and Kendall Fuller returned to practice on Thursday.
**Injury Report:**
– **Jordan Poyer, S:** Shin (DNP Wednesday and Thursday)
– **Braxton Berrios, WR:** Ankle (Limited Participation both days)
– **David Long Jr., LB:** Hamstring (Limited Participation both days)
– **Raheem Mostert, RB:** Chest (Limited Participation both days)

Odell Beckham Jr. participated fully in practices, indicating he is set to make his Dolphins debut. The Dolphins are also monitoring Jeff Wilson Jr., who suffered a knee injury during pregame warm-ups last Monday. Raheem Mostert, who has missed the last three games with a chest injury, is still a limited participant but hopes to return for the upcoming game against the New England Patriots.
At quarterback, Skylar Thompson remains limited, but there is clarity at the position as Mike McDaniel has confirmed that Tyler Huntley will start against the Patriots.
