Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller was absent from practice on Thursday, causing a lot of fans to worry about a potential injury.
Fortunately, the team offered an update, and it sounds like Fuller was simply away today due to a personal matter.

This is good news for anyone who was worried about a potential long-term issue with Fuller’s availability.
The former first-round pick figures to be a big weapon for the Dolphins in the 2021 season. He missed the season opener due to a suspension that carried over from the 2020 campaign, but if everything goes to plan, he should be able to play in Week 2.
Over 11 games in 2020, Fuller racked up 53 receptions for 879 yards and eight touchdowns. He has had a very solid career at the NFL level so far, and he’s looking to take his game to another level this season.
The Dolphins are looking to make the postseason for the first time in several years.
