• 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.
