In this story:

The Miami Dolphins got two players back at practice Friday, but they still missed a few key players.

Along with tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Kendall Fuller remaining in the concussion protocol, wide receiver Tyreek Hill also was not spotted during the portion open to the media. The indication was that Hill was given a veteran rest day, and whether he would participate in the practice will be revealed when the official injury report is released later in the afternoon.

Having Hill miss any practice time this week is less than ideal, considering the uncertainty at quarterback and the need to develop some chemistry with recently acquired quarterbacks Tyler Huntley and Tim Boyle.

Huntley or Boyle is in line to start against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night, with Skylar Thompson still nursing a rib injury. Thompson was listed as limited in practice on the Thursday injury report and still looked slightly uncomfortable in his movement on Friday.

The only other player hot spotted during the open portion of practice was linebacker David Long, Jr., who is dealing with a hamstring injury and in danger of missing a second game against his former team.

TWO PLAYERS RETURN TO PRACTICE

Cornerback Siran Neal was back at practice after missing Thursday with a hamstring injury. Defensive lineman Calais Campbell, as expected, was back after getting a vet rest day.

Cornerback Storm Duck, who sustained a shoulder injury in the 24-3 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, was wearing a red (no-contact) jersey again.
