Breaking Down the Final Week 7 Injury Report

The Miami Dolphins haven't ruled out any players for the Colts game, but they have many question marks nonetheless.

The Miami Dolphins' rosy outlook for player availability for their Week 7 game isn't quite as rosy anymore.

The team's final injury report for this week included three new names, and all three players on the list were listed as questionable.

Probably the most significant involved right tackle Austin Jackson, who was a limited participant in practice Friday and was listed as questionable for the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

If Jackson can't play, logic suggests the starter would be veteran Kendall Lamm. Lamm was a full participant in practice Friday after showing up on the injury report Thursday with an elbow injury. Lamm didn't get a game status designation, indicating he'll play against the Colts.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. didn't practice Friday and was also listed as questionable. The injury was listed as "hamstring/personal." The expectation here is that if Beckham can't play, then Dee Eskridge likely will be elevated from the practice squad for a third time this season.

Finally, long snapper Blake Ferguson was listed as limited in practice because of a personal issue and as questionable.

The only player listed as doubtful was safety Jevon Holland, who sustained a hand injury in the Week 5 victory against the New England Patriots. Holland was limited in practice all week.

Fellow safety Jordan Poyer didn't get a game status designation, so he'll be back in the starting lineup against Indy after missing two games and likely would be joined by veteran Marcus Maye if Holland can't play.

Also listed as questionable were:

• LB David Long, Jr. (knee)
• LB Emmanuel Ogbah (bicep)
• CB Cam Smith (hamstring) and
• QB Skylar Thompson (ribs)

Smith was a full participant in practice all week, though he remains on injured reserve (IR) with the hamstring injury that cost him the first five games. That was Smith's last week of practice before the Dolphins had to move him to the 53-man roster or keep him on IR for the rest of the season.

Long and Ogbah were limited in practice all week.

Along with Lamm, running back De'Von Achane and linebacker Mohamed Kamara were also not given a game status designation but will be available. However, Kamara has been a healthy scratch for every game of his rookie season.

COLTS INJURY REPORT

The Colts, meanwhile, ruled out two players, the most significant being running back Jonathan Taylor.

The other was cornerback Chris Lammons, who had an ankle injury.

The Colts had six players listed as questionable, including wide receiver Michael Pittman, who has a back injury. Pittman didn't practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday but was a full participant Thursday.

Also listed as questionable were:

• DE Dayo Odeyingbo (hamstring)
• T Braden Smith (knee)
• WR Josh Downs (toe)
• WR Alec Pierce (shoulder) and
• LB E.J. Speed (knee)

Odeyingbo and Smith didn't practice Friday; Downs was limited; Pierce and Speed were full participants.

Quarterback Anthony Richardson did not get a game status designation and will be in the starting lineup Sunday after missing the past two games because of an oblique injury.
