The Miami Dolphins got some good news on Friday, as several key players were at practice ahead of the team’s Week 17 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
Wide receivers DeVante Parker and Jakeem Grant, offensive lineman Solomon Kindley, safety Bobby McCain and edge rusher Shaq Lawson reportedly all participated.
It is a huge step forward for Miami, as it will need as many weapons as possible to beat the high-powered Bills offense on Sunday.

Miami will undoubtedly have rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa under center, as the Dolphins lost Ryan Fitzpatrick for this game after he tested positive for COVID-19.
Miami is currently 10-5 and the No. 5 seed in the AFC.
However, the Dolphins could miss the playoffs if they lose on Sunday.
The Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns are all also 10-5 and fighting for playoff spots in the final weekend of the 2020 regular season.
The Bills beat Miami 31-28 in Week 2 of this season. While both teams are certainly different since they last faced off, the Dolphins are in nearly a must-win scenario.
