There was quite a disparity between the two teams when the Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks released their first injury report ahead of their Week 3 matchup, but this time, the South Florida team was favored.

The Dolphins' initial injury report for the week included nine players, exactly half the whopping 18 players on the Seattle injury report.

The Dolphins had only two players who didn't practice on this day, and Calais Campbell's absence was due to veteran rest.

The other player who didn't practice was tackle Terron Armstead, who sustained a shoulder injury in the Thursday night loss against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike McDaniel addressed Armstead's status before practice.

Fellow offensive lineman Robert Jones, who also sustained a shoulder injury against Buffalo, was among six players listed as limited.

Two others were running backs Raheem Mostert (chest) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique). Two wide receivers were also limited: Grant DuBose (shoulder) and Malik Washington (quadriceps). This was the first practice in two weeks for Washington, who was inactive for each of the first two games.

Jaelan Phillips was also listed as limited with an Achilles issue, but that has to do with load management because of his 2023 injury.

Lastly, offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg was listed as a full participant despite a shoulder injury. Eichenberg was on the injury report for Week 2 with the same issue but played every snap against Buffalo.

SEAHAWKS INJURY REPORT

The Seattle injury report featured nine players who didn't practice, six who were limited, and three listed as full participants.
