Breaking Down the Final Dolphins-Raiders Injury Report

The Miami Dolphins still have a lot of question marks for Week 16 in terms of which players will be available

www.si.com

The Dolphins have four key players listed as questionable on their final injury report of the week, including the three players who missed the 22-12 victory against the New England Patriots: tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder), and wide receivers DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring).

As an insurance, the Dolphins elevated wide receiver Isaiah Ford from the practice squad earlier this week.

The other player listed as questionable is veteran guard Ereck Flowers, who has missed the past two games with an ankle injury.

The one player the Dolphins ruled out Thursday was rookie guard Solomon Kindley, who sustained a knee injury in the third quarter of the game against New England.

If Flowers can't go, then logic says that Michael Deiter, who replaced Kindley against New England, would get the start at left guard.

The fifth and final Dolphins player listed as questionable was defensive end Shaq Lawson, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury for a while.

We need Parker back in the game. As far as grant, he's always good to have for big plays.. however we could live without him. I'm disappointed we still have both of them listed as questionable, I thought with resting against patriots they would have all been ready to go except Mike Gesicki

I expect the back up TEs and RBs will be our offense again this week.
Pound the ball on the ground and medium passing game

Well that’s nice, were in the damn playoffs right now!! Get the **** out on the field and let’s go!! damn players Nowadays are ****ing soft.

Love to have Parker and Gesicki back this week.

Raiders DL is bad so I doubt Kindley makes more a difference than Dieter.

They can't list anybody as probable anymore so everyone on the report has to be at least questionable.

I didn't know that, good to know.

Parker's threshold of pain is very low.

Tua will be like a kid in a candy store if he gets DvP and Gesicki back.

If mike only ends up missing one game (and a win at that) with the shoulder, would be frickin' amazeballs.

Parker's threshold of pain is very low.

Yeah, I don't think that's the case.

I don't expect Geisicki back until atleast next week with the way he got hurt, but I bet Parker and Grant or one if the two will go. Flowers would be nice too.

Gesicki traveled to LV.

They did not elevate Myarick from the practice squad again.

That only leaves you with Smythey and Shaheeny at TE.

We like to have 3 active TE.

That leads me to think Gesicki will.be active and available to play.

Whether he gets in the game or not may depend on how we're doing, injury to one of the other two guys, or he may start and play a lot.

We'll see tomorrow.

Yeah, I don't think that's the case.

Yeah, Uh I do.

 

[circumstances]

Yeah, Uh I do.

With a hamstring if you try to tough through it you can aggravate it and miss more time.

Pain tolerance has nothing to do with it.

Just a lazy narrative.

I'm sure he'd love to play through it, regardless of the pain, if the head trainer would let him.

He's a lazy S.O.B. and should learn from our old friend Jarvis Landry who plays through broken ribs and has yet to miss a game in his career due to injury!!!! When your team needs to win or go home you limp on to the field and take shots of cortisone and you dress even if you can play 1 half.
