It's Only Happened ONCE!
Some Wednesday afternoon Dolphins notes:
Left tackle Branden Albert and left guard Laremy Tunsil -- two key cogs in the Dolphins’ offensive line – returned to practice, at least on a limited basis, on Wednesday, and the Dolphins remain hopeful that they will be able to play Sunday at Baltimore.

“It looks better for us than it did last week; last week we never had either one of those two guys be able to take a real rep in practice,” coach Adam Gase said. “BA didn't even suit up for individual [work]. Just getting those two guys out there, it gives us an opportunity that we could have some guys back. But still, it's Wednesday. We've just kind of see how our process goes.”
Albert said he no longer feels discomfort in his surgically repaired wrist. “We’ll see how I feel by Sunday,” he said. “It is going to be a challenge but I have to do what I have to do to help this team.”
Tunsil, meanwhile, is working his way back from a back injury.
But center Mike Pouncey remains unable to practice because of a hip injury and is expected to miss his third game in a row on Sunday. And veteran right guard Jermon Bushrod was limited Wednesday with a calf injury.
As for receiver DeVante Parker, he didn’t participate in practice Wednesday because of a back injury that sidelined him during much of the second half against San Francisco. The Dolphins do not believe it’s serious but aren’t sure he will play Sunday.
As a result, former University of Miami receiver Rashawn Scott was promoted from the practice squad, per sources. He impressed the team in preseason after catching 91 passes for 1247 yards in his career at UM.
He fills the roster spot created by the release of defensive tackle Leon Orr, who was arrested on a marijuana charge on Tuesday.
“He's stiff right now,” Gase said of Parker. “We've just got to see if he can loosen up a little bit. As we go through the week, we'll see if he gets better. Obviously, we would not put him out there if we did not feel like he could contribute or be effective. It has to be a little bit on him.
“We could say one thing, 'We think you should go.' But at the end of the day, he has to be of the right mindset. He has to feel like he can be effective in the way he wants to be. That's kind of be our checklist. Obviously, he's going to have a say in this. If somebody says, 'Ah, it's probably a good idea to not play him this week, we're going to listen to that.' We'll do the right thing, make the right decision.”

Dolphins’ DeVante Parker, Mike Pouncey held out of practice
The good news for the Dolphins: Branden Albert and Laremy Tunsil practiced Wednesday.
The bad: DeVante Parker and Mike Pouncey did not.
So it’s two steps forward, one back, for the Dolphins as they prepare to face Baltimore in a game critical to their playoff chances.
Albert, the Dolphins’ left tackle, practiced for the first time since dislocating his wrist in Week 10. He’s missed the past two games. Tunsil practiced last week, but ultimately his shoulder didn’t heal enough for him to play against the 49ers.
Getting both back this week would be a huge lift for Miami, considering the Ravens have one of the best run defenses in the league.
As for Parker, the back injury that knocked him out of the Niners game had not healed enough for him to practice Wednesday. The Dolphins have privately expressed optimism that Parker would play against the Ravens.
