The Miami Dolphins had four injured players practice this week, with one player still remaining off the field in preparation for Saturday night’s road game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Dolphins remain in the thick of playoff contention and managed to win this past Sunday against the New England Patriots with multiple players out of the lineup.

Having players like DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant and Mike Gesicki back would bring back three of the Dolphins’ top offensive players.

Ereck Flowers, like the trio of players above, was ruled inactive for the game against the Patriots. His presence in the starting lineup would give rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa added protection.

The Dolphins are taking a careful approach to getting Solomon Kindley back on the field after a potentially scary knee injury was deemed to not have caused any structural damage.

Defeating the Raiders would go a long way toward getting the Dolphins back to the postseason after missing out the last three years.
