MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins could have every offensive starter not named Tua Tagovailoa for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
That’s certainly the best-case scenario for Skylar Thompson, who will be making his fourth career start in one of the loudest stadiums in football.
Miami Dolphins Practice Report
News from Thursday’s practice: Offensive tackle Terron Armstead and defensive tackle Calais Campbell were back on the field after both missed Wednesday’s session.
That means all five starting Dolphins offensive linemen participated in Thursday’s practice. Left guard Rob Jones worked for the second straight day despite dealing with a shoulder injury.
Armstead told reporters that he intends to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills even though he is dealing with a rotator cuff issue that made it impossible for him to lift his arm that night.
“The biggest factor, especially with a guy like Terron [is], I mean, he knows himself better than anyone,” Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith said Thursday.
“So you naturally listen to the players, giving you the feedback, how he’s feeling and all that, where he’s at for the game. And I think, ultimately, you’re working that process with the player because everyone else will have an opinion on certain things. But the players have got to be the one that’s going to go out there and play. So with Terron, have the utmost confidence with him and in the communication and the process all the way to the game.”
The Dolphins also had all four active running backs on the practice field, including Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr., who combined for just 11 total snaps in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The only Dolphins player missing from Thursday’s practice? Grant DuBose, who has a shoulder injury that limited his participation on Wednesday.
That issue, combined with the team’s decision to cut Robbie Chosen from their practice squad, strongly suggests that Malik Washington will make his NFL debut on Sunday.
