For once (or so it feels like), the injury news was kind to the Miami Dolphins.
The team released its final injury report on Friday afternoon ahead of the team's season-opening contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium.
The news is good for a number of ailing Dolphins who've been battling injuries this week.
Three starters increased their practice level on Friday, namely Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Brewer, and Benito Jones. Brewer, who explained the nature of his hand injury on Thursday, and Jones are both cleared to play without a game designation after practicing in full.
Ramsey managed to get his first practice of the week in and earned a questionable game tag for Sunday. The veteran corner had a big day on Friday after it was announced he'd agreed to a three-year contract extension that made him the highest paid cornerback in the NFL. Now, there's at least a chance we could see the seven-time Pro Bowler on the field for the Dolphins on Sunday.
The only player out for sure is WR Malik Washington, who's nursing a quad injury. That leaves Miami with just four healthy wide receivers on the 53-man roster: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, and Grant DuBose. It would not be a surprise to see the Dolphins elevate a wideout from the practice squad (Robbie Chosen, Erik Ezukanma, and Dee Eskridge among the options).
