The
Miami Dolphins likely will benefit from the return of starting left tackle
Branden Albert, who practiced with his teammates for the first time all week on Friday.
Albert, who missed last week's 22-7 loss to the
Cincinnati Bengals because of an ankle injury he suffered the previous week, had been held out of practice all week because of an illness, not his ankle.
His participation during Friday's sessions hints he'll be cleared to play in Sunday's game against the
Tennessee Titans.
Albert's presence on Miami's offensive line is critical because it allows Laremy Tunsil to remain the starting left guard.
Sunday could be the first game all season the Dolphins are at full strength on the offensive line. Starting center
Mike Pouncey is expected to make his first start of the season. He missed the first four games because of a hip injury he suffered in the preseason.
