The Miami Dolphins will get more than Zach Sieler back for their defense when they face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

Cornerbacks Kader Kohou and Storm Duck will return after missing games with neck and ankle injuries, respectively, and safety Jevon Holland could also be back. However, he was listed as questionable on the final injury report released Saturday.

The Dolphins ruled out one player, as expected: tackle Austin Jackson, who will miss the game with a knee injury.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill, meanwhile, was listed as questionable with a wrist injury after missing a second consecutive practice Saturday.

The only other Dolphins player who didn't practice was wide receiver Dee Eskridge, who is dealing with a personal situation. He will not travel with the team to Southern California but is expected to join his teammates there. He did not get a game status designation, meaning he'll be available if the Dolphins want to use him.

The one player other than Holland, who was limited in practice Saturday, was fullback Alec Ingold, who's dealing with a calf injury.

Wide receiver River Cracraft was a full participant for a third consecutive day and appeared on track to be activated off injured reserve (IR). The Dolphins cleared a roster space for him when they waived second-year defensive tackle Brandon Pili on Saturday.

Safety Patrick McMorris was upgraded from a limited to a full participant for the first time this week. However, head coach Mike McDaniel said before practice that he thought this would be different from the week McMorris was activated off IR.

Tight end Julian Hill will be available after missing the game against Buffalo with a shoulder injury. Cornerback Cam Smith was a full participant and is a go after suffering a knee injury in practice Friday that turned out to be just a scare.

RAMS FINAL INJURY REPORT

The Rams ruled out two players Saturday, including defensive lineman Neville Gallimore, whom the Dolphins signed as a free agent this offseason before releasing him in late August. Starting right tackle Rob Havenstein was also ruled out.

On the flip side, the Rams could have two starters back from IR. Jonah Jackson and Steve Avila did not get a game status designation after returning to practice this week and being full participants Saturday.

The Rams listed three players as questionable: S Kam Curl (knee), OL Kevin Dotson (ankle/knee), and LB Christian Rozeboom, who popped up on the injury report Saturday with a neck injury and was a limited participant.
