INJURIES
Reese Taylor - Chance to return Week 8 Taylor (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's contest against New England, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Taylor suffered a quad injury Week 4 versus Minnesota and hasn't played since. He began this week with a pair of limited practices, but an upgrade to full participation Friday has increased his chances of returning to game action against the Patriots. With that in mind, Taylor played exclusively on special teams in the three games he's suited up for this season, so a potential return wouldn't necessarily guarantee him snaps on defense.

Kadyn Proctor - Won't play against New England Proctor (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Procotor entered the league's concussion protocol following the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, and he was unable to practice in any capacity during Week 8 prep. Jarrett Kingston and Christian Haynes are candidates to start at left guard in the absence of Proctor, whose next chance to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Will Kacmarek - Clear to suit up Sunday Kacmarek (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday battle against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Kacmarek dealt with a hamstring injury this week and logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was able to upgrade to a full session Friday and has thus been cleared to play Sunday. Kacmarek should serve in his usual role as the No. 2 tight end who focuses primarily on blocking.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Wayne - Good to go against New England Wayne (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Wayne was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but his ability to practice in full Friday was enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Sundays' AFC East showdown. Wayne made his Dolphins debut against the Jets in Week 7, when he played 16 snaps (10 on offense, six on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
JuJu Brents - Questionable to face New England Brents (neck/concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Brents logged a full practice Friday, but he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be available for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Marcellas Dial and Jaylin Simpson would be the top candidates to start opposite Jason Marshall at outside cornerback if Brents is not cleared to play.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Washington - Good to go for Week 8 Washington (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Washington practiced fully Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The Dolphins' WR1 in terms of playing time and targets, Washington still hasn't found the end zone this season, producing 26 catches for 289 yards on 39 targets. He's a low-ceiling WR4 in fantasy.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Greg Dulcich - Cleared for Week 8 Dulcich (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact After back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Dulcich upgraded to full Friday and is in the clear for Sunday. Dulcich is coming off a productive 5-86-0 receiving line on five targets last Sunday against the Jets.

Jared Wayne - Posts another limited practice session Wayne (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Wayne was also limited Wednesday, so his status for Sunday's clash against New England is hazy. Unless he's able to upgrade to full participation Friday, the wideout will likely be tagged with a designation heading into the weekend. In his debut with the Dolphins this past Sunday versus Tennessee, Wayne didn't draw a target on 10 offensive snaps while also playing six snaps on special teams.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Will Kacmarek - Remains limited at practice Thursday Kacmarek (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Kacmarek has now been limited two straight days to begin Week 8 prep while tending to a hamstring injury. He'll almost certainly enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Patriots if he isn't able to practice in full Friday. Kacmarek has worked primarily as a blocker this season, but he does have three catches for 24 yards on six targets through six games.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
JuJu Brents - Practices in limited capacity Thursday Brents (neck/concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Brents suffered a concussion this past Sunday versus the Jets and didn't practice at all Wednesday. His ability to upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign of progress, but the cornerback will still need to be cleared by an independent neurologist to be eligible to suit up Sunday against New England. Should Brents not get that clearance in time, Jaylin Simpson could be asked to step into a larger role in the Dolphins' secondary.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Greg Dulcich - Another limited session Dulcich (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Dulcich was also limited at Wednesday's practice, so the tight end likely needs to work fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Patriots without an injury designation. Dulcich has been targeted five times in each of his last two contests, a span in which he's logged a 9/123/0 receiving line.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Washington - Practices in limited fashion Washington (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact With Washington having now logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout will look to get back to full participation Friday to clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Though he leads the Dolphins in both receptions (26) and receiving yards (289), Washington is coming off a Week 7 outing against the Jets in which he drew a season-low three targets while Miami welcomed back promising rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (2-70-2 receiving line on three targets) from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Rob Beal Jr. - Practices in full Wednesday Beal (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Beal has missed the Dolphins' last four games due to a hamstring injury, but his full practice Wednesday indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots. He logged one solo tackle across the first two games of the regular season prior to his injury.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Kadyn Proctor - In concussion protocol Proctor sustained a concussion during Sunday's game against the Jets, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Impact Proctor played all 65 of the Dolphins' offensive snaps in Week 7, but he suffered a concussion somewhere along the way. He'll now need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to return to game action. Until then, 2024 sixth-rounder Jarrett Kingston is a candidate to step up at guard.

Impact Gay was unable to play against the Jets in Week 7 due to an illness, but it looks like he's fully recovered and will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 2020 second-rounder has accumulated 16 tackles (four solo) through five regular-season games.
