The team has been hopeful that Laremy Tunsil, dealing with a shoulder injury, might be able to play. Tunsil, who left last week’s game in the first half and didn’t return, has been able to practice on a limited basis this week. The team was actually encouraged he was able to do as much as he did in practice earlier this week.
Tunsil is expected to wear a shoulder harness if he plays.
Albert has not practiced this week, before Friday. And his chance of playing is more 40-60 because there has been considerable swelling to the left hand needs to use against on-rushing defensive linemen. Unless the swelling goes down significantly in the next few days, Albert would be unable to function.
The team is hopeful that swelling will subside. Albert is eager for that to happen. But the likelihood the process can be sped up to meet the game day deadline is not good.
If both Albert and Tunsil can play, obviously Albert will be at left tackle and Tunsil at left guard. If only Tunsil can play, as is more likely, he would likely man the left tackle spot while Kraig Urbik starts at left guard. If neither play, Urbik would have to go to left guard and Sam Young would come in as the likely left tackle.
On another injury matter ... cornerback Xavien Howard continues to make progress toward getting back in the lineup. But he is not going to play on Sunday against San Francisco.
The Dolphins are confident Howard will play again this season, barring a significant setback. That is not the case with defensive end Dion Jordan.
The amount of work he has to do to get back into game condition is so extensive, the Dolphins are not planning on using him this season.

I'd still sit Tunsil and Albert. I want them ready for Baltimore. If they play they might reaggravate their injury and miss the Baltimore game. We need them for the rest of the season

Sam Young has been good in relief

Steen and Urbik are the problems
 
Miami Dolphins injury report: Albert, Pouncey, Tunsil all out?

Could we see a repeat of the 1-4 Miami Dolphins this Sunday? It’s possible.

We’re just over 24 hours from the start of week 12 and there’s a number of injury concerns for Miami‘s game against the San Francisco 49ers.

As we’ve all grown accustomed to, no injury’s are more important to follow in South Florida than the offensive line. Fans have nightmares thinking of another week of missing starters from the front five due to injury.

Last week against Los Angeles, Miami was without Branden Albert and Mike Pouncey; Albert broke his wrist the week prior against San Diego and Pouncey re-injured his hip in practice a week ago today. To make matters worse for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, rookie Laremy Tunsil who was replacing Albert at left tackle left the game early with a shoulder injury.

The projected starting five for tomorrows game look to be:

LT – Sam Young; LG – Kraig Urbick; C – Anthony Steen; RG – Jermon Bushrod; RT – Jawuan James

While it was ugly Miami still pulled off the victory, albeit wasn’t anything short of a miracle.

Fast forward six days later and Miami is in the same position as last week. Pouncey has been declared out, Albert is doubtful, and Tunsil will be a game-time decision after practicing three times this week.

I would like to know when Pouncy will be back hes the one that really helps the running game. Steen is not half the athlete Pouncy is and so he can't get to the 2nd level to spring longer runs consistently
 
no good reason to play tunsil, let him rest against one of the leagues worst rushing D, plus its not even a confrence game although a win is a win...we need him for baltimore and the rest of our division games to finish the season...same with albert and howard...
as far as pouncey is concerned i really think we need to take a long hard look at replacing him, when on the field he is great but he is just so injury prone lately hopefully steen can fill in solid
 
The only one that "could" play is Tunsil. The others are out. Gase will not play Tunsil if he feels there's any risk. He's been very careful with guys that have been hurt so far. It won't be easy missing 3 guys up front again but everyone has to ship in and do their job. Main thing other than winning is no more injuries of course so we might be playing this one close to the vest tomorrow.

Ozzy rules!!
 
Anyone who has any hope that Dion Jordan will be a good player for the Dolphins must also believe in Santa Claus. He is a bum. Ignore the cancer in the locker room.
