The Miami Dolphins will be without quarterback Jay Cutler and starting left guard Anthony Steen for Thursday night’s game at Baltimore and four other starters were listed as questionable in Wednesday’s final injury report.
Steen, who has a foot injury, was ruled out and likely will be replaced by Jesse Davis, who filled in at left tackle last Sunday against the Jets after Laremy Tunsil left with a knee injury.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins listed four starters as questionable: receiver DeVante Parker (ankle), defensive end Andre Branch (groin), defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (ankle) and Tunsil (knee).

Was kinda hoping for Davis at left tackle and Tunsil at guard....might be an interesting combination
 
Tunsil is the one I'm most concerned about for this game. The ravens historically bring pressure against us, and we need every healthy Olineman we can spare. The Ravens always seem to play us like ravenous dogs at a kill, the Dolphins usually look like they are overmatched.
 
Ya we're going to need Tunsil badly. I know he hasn't been dominant as of now but his time will come. It almost looks like he isn't trying and is playing based of his god given ability. It sucks for linemen who can be total studs all game yet one play can ruin it. I believe Branch is a lock to play. I hope and pray Parker and Phillips can play. Although Phillips can be a pain, he still has gotten some nice interior pressure on opposing offenses and doesn't hurt to have him to get some productive playing time while giving the rookies a rest. Parker obviously is a playmaker we will need. Jesse Davis did a very good job from what I seen vs the Jets last week. Matt Moore has a lot to prove this week. If he goes into Baltimore and wins, Coach Gase will have a tough decision to eventually make. 5-2 would be a simply amazing start with Jay Cutler and Matt Moore at QB. It's about time we beat the Ravens asses the way they always seem to have our number. PHINS UP!!!
 
oh boy...jesse davis played an awful left guard early in the season when he got run there...

that reads like tunsils gonna go only one I'm wondering about is parker
 
More than ever we need our running game to get going but honestly I can't trust our run blocking, even if everyone was in there playing. They have not prove that they can get the job done yet. If we can't run the football it will put much more pressure on pass protection and on Moore. It'd be nice if our offense could learn how to run a screen but they suck at it too. I expect Gase to keep the play calling very close to the vest, specially early on. We'll all complain about it but what can he do with an O-line that's not doing it's job? Big game for the defense once again to keep us in the game. They were up and down on Sunday. They can't afford to give up a lead right away up in Baltimore

Ozzy rules!!
 
Davis started out playing DT at Idaho. He is a big dude. He'll be starting against the Ravens so maybe he'll grab the job for good.

Good to know - yeah would be nice to see another young guy run with a job...I know eff all about the guy though, can only hope.
 
Definitely need Tunsil and DVP. Godchaux/Taylor can fill in for Phillips and Harris/Hayes for Branch.

Steen was awful against the Jets, but it appears that had a lot to do with health. Hopefully Jesse Davis can get back on his preseason track.

Not saying the OK is good, but a stacked box makes it harder for every OL. Throw the rock
 
Wallace and Watson could miss the game for the ravens tomorrow. Funny but our defense has done better this year covering the TE's. When was the last time we even beat the ravens?

Ozzy rules!!
 
I'd rather have Brendel or Asiata starting, Davis has been a turnstile when he got playing time.
