And so Tuesday's practice, which was supposed to be less physical than the one Monday, but nonetheless a competitive time on the field, won't exactly be that anymore.Gase decided to change Tuesday's practice to a walk-thru. There should be no player leaving the field under uncertain injury conditions on Tuesday.
As to those players who left Monday -- guard Laremy Tunsil, receiver Kenny Stills, and receiver DeVante Parker -- what news is known is good news.
Tunsil and Stills are fine.
There is no word on Parker.
[Update: The Dolphins won't have clarity about Parker's status until the morning but the team is hopeful he will be fine.]

There you have it.

That's from yesterday. Better news came out today.

Is it me or is the pre-season injury bug getting worse and worse as the years go by?

I dunno...there was a graphic that showed ACL problems are on par with the past 5 years, but I haven't seen anything that covers all injuries. With all the upstart wannabe "journalists" out there on their blogs (which have definitely increased over the years), you hear about stuff more. Minor stuff gets blown out of proportion because it may cause somebody to score a couple less points in fantasy that week.

I don't feel they've increased, just the reporting of them.
