Active Roster
Now we know nose tackle Paul Soliai (ankle), tight end Anthony Fasano (hip) and linebacker Erik Walden (hamstring) also will not play.
The Dolphins announced as much on their injury report today. It is the final report prior to the game. None of the players that are out will travel today to Charlotte.
The Dolphins are listing two players as questionable: Guard Justin Smiley (shoulder) and safety Tyrone Culver (ankle). Smiley will play a source tells me. He practiced full today. Culver suffered a tweaked ankle in practice and was limited in his participation. Although listed the same as Smiley, his status is less certain.
Safety Gibril Wilson, nursing a hamstring, is listed as probable. He will play.
The Panthers are also quite beat up as game day looms.
We already knew cornerstone left tackle Jordan Gross was out for the remainder of the season with a broken ankle.
Safety Charles Godfrey (ankle), FB Brad Hoover (ankle) and DE Charles Johnson (pectoral muscle) are listed as doubtful. None of the three practiced Wednesday.
DT Damione Lewis (shoulder), RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles), and RB DeAngelo Williams (knee) are listed as questionable. Lewis and Stewart practiced on Wednesday. Williams did not practice. All three are expected to play.

WoW we are banged up big time. You are talking about four or five players who were key contributors not playing. Hopefully some of our young guns are given a chance to surprise tommorrow. My guess is Turner will be active again, I also expect Murtha, Dotson & Moses to play. Porter & Sheets im sure will play as well.
Some of these injuries having me wondering especially Fasano, Soliai's & Ronnie. Dolphins could start signing FA. If those players are gone for the year.
