Wallace, Pouncey join Tannehill on final injury report; Soliai and Patterson out

Some more interesting names popped up on the final injury report for the Miami Dolphins today.

Mike Wallace was listed as questionable with a tweaked groin he injured earlier this week.

Center Mike Pouncey was also limited in practice with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable.

However, both these guys expect to play on Sunday barring some sort of setback.  They will have to be watched closely though.  Ankle injuries are scary for offensive lineman, as anything can happen in the trenches.  As far as Wallace goes, this groin injury held him out for two weeks during training camp, so this is nothing new.  Legs are EVERYTHING for wide receivers though, so pray Wallace doesn't aggravate it any more.

Ryan Tannehill was upgraded from questionable to probable today with his sore right shoulder.  The kid will play, there's never been any doubt about that.  But, as I said earlier this week, protecting him will be MORE critical this ever.

Paul Soliai has been ruled out, which comes as no surprise.  Soliai has not practiced all week after exiting Sunday's game with a knee injury, and we still don't know the extent of the injury.  This doesn't concern me too much, especially with Steven Jackson not playing.  Randy Starks and Jared Odrick will fill in just fine.  In-fact, I tend to like the rotation when it features Starks and Odrick together.  It's a faster defensive line, which will be a better matchup against pass heavy Atlanta.

CB Dimitri Patterson has also been ruled out with a lingering leg injury.  That means we'll get another helpful dose of Nolan Carroll this week.  He was fantastic against Indianapolis, but can he be consistent?  We'll see.

It does appear, however, that Carroll will get some help, as rookies Will Davis and Jamar Taylor are close to returning.  Both practiced in full today and are probable for the game.

FS Chris Clemons is listed as questionable, but says he'll play.

LB Koa Misi is also questionable.  Like Clemons, I expect him to play.

As for the Falcons, OT Sam Baker and RB Steven Jackson have been ruled out for Sunday.  WR's Julio Jones and Roddy White, and CB Asante Samuel, are all questionable.

Come back tomorrow for your week three predictions!

Two days.
