11:10 a.m.: It looks like more good news for the Dolphins, who are getting a surprise “active” for their young receiver.
Despite not thinking he would be available due to a back injury, Dolphins WR DeVante Parker now will be active today, per source.

DeVante Parker convinced the Dolphins he's good to go. Again, had a very good workout just now. Big factor if he can be himself.

9:20 a.m.: While the Dolphins are getting reinforcements with two offensive linemen back, they still will be without center Mike Pouncey, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, reporting on “NFL Insiders.”
Schefter added this nugget, which is important for Jay Ajayi owners to be aware of: With Pouncey in the lineup, Ajayi averages 6.0 yards per carry. Without him, just 3.8. That’s a huge disparity.
