Myles Gaskin remains on injured reserve, but he has practiced with the Dolphins over the past two weeks as he works his way back from a knee injury. The Dolphins would use him with Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) still limited in Thursday’s practice and DeAndre Washington (hamstring) still out. Miami has until Saturday afternoon to activate Gaskin for him to play Sunday. Matt Breida and Patrick Laird currently are Miami’s only healthy running backs. Coach Brian Flores was asked about that possibility this week and said, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, that it “would depend on what he shows in practice. When you’re out a few weeks, there’s a conditioning element . . . a physical element. To think he can walk back in and he’s the same guy, normally it takes a few weeks until hopefully he’s back to where he was. I hope a guy like Myles could get right back to form quickly, but I don’t think there’s any assumptions it’ll be that way.” Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said the team will decide on Sunday whether Ryan Fitzpatrick or Tua Tagovailoa will start at quarterback against the Bengals. While Flores has been consistent in saying Tagovailoa is the starter if healthy, the thumb injury Tagovailoa suffered last week has kept him as a limited participant in practice again on Thursday. The rest of the Dolphins injury report was largely unchanged from Wednesday, as the club prepares for the Bengals. Wide receiver Malcolm Perry (chest) was limited after he didn’t practice on Wednesday. Running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) and guard Solomon Kindley (foot) were also limited. Safety Kavon Frazier (shoulder), cornerback Xavien Howard (shoulder), defensive end Shaq Lawson (shoulder), cornerback Jamal Perry (foot), tight end Adam Shaheen, and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (wrist) were full participants.
It irks me that Williams isn't ever talked about in these- he's such an important piece in our offense.
