The final Miami Dolphins injury report of Week 4, ahead of their matchup against the Tennessee Titans, featured several prominent players, but there were a couple of noteworthy developments from the other side on Saturday.

And they may have involved the Titans' two most important defensive players.

Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and second-team All-Pro selection, was listed as doubtful with an elbow injury. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, who came over from the Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason, was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury after not being on the injury report previously this week, suggesting he was injured in practice.

The Titans will definitely be missing one of their starting cornerbacks. On Friday, they put Chidobe Awuzie on injured reserve because of a groin injury.

The only other Tennessee player with a game status designation is safety Amani Hooker, who was listed as questionable with what is described as a face injury.

DOLPHINS OFFICIAL FINAL INJURY REPORT

As head coach Mike McDaniel indicated before practice, tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Kendall Fuller were both ruled out because of the concussions they sustained in the 24-3 loss against the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday.

Linebacker David Long, Jr. was listed as doubtful with his hamstring injury.

Three other players were listed as questionable: RB Raheem Mostert (chest), QB Skylar Thompson (ribs), and WR Malik Washington (shoulder).

In the good news department, cornerback Siran Neal did not get a game status designation after missing practice Thursday with a hamstring injury.

Of course, Thompson will miss out on the chance to make a second start at quarterback because of the injury he sustained in the third quarter of the Seattle game. He will be replaced by Tyler "Snoop" Huntley.

Mostert has missed the past two games, while Washington has yet to make his NFL debut because of his quad injury.
