Final Injury Report For Fins, Bills PLUS Wallace Interview (audio)

The Dolphins finished up their final day of practice today, as they continue preparation for the Buffalo Bills.  Don't think this game is important?  If not, I advise you to check out my latest column regarding the importance of division play.

Now, to the injury reports.


For Miami:

Doubtful: LB Dannell Ellerbe (shoulder)

Questionable: CB Dimitri Patterson (groin), WR Brandon Gibson (hip)

Probable: S Chris Clemons (knee), P Brandon Fields (back), OT Nate Garner (knee), DE Dion Jordan (ankle), Koa Misi (shoulder, knee), C Mike Pouncey (ankle), LB Jason Trusnik (rib), DE Cameron Wake (knee), OT Will Yeatman (shoulder)


I don't expect Ellerbe to play.  He's been fighting through injuries all season long, and with 11 games left I wouldn't be surprised to see him take another week off here.  Expect Jason Trusnik to start in his place.

As for Patterson and Gibson, look for Gibson to play and Patterson to be more of a game time decision.  Gibson has played with this hip injury all season, and performed pretty well, so I don't expect him to miss this game barring a setback between now and Sunday.  Patterson is the healthiest he's been since week one, and participated in a full week of practice.  I'd be surprised if he's not AT LEAST active.

Look for a big game from Cameron Wake this week.  He's close to, if not at 100% for the first time in nearly a month, and he's been forced to sit on the sidelines and watch back to back losses.  That's not a good recipe for the Buffalo Bills.  I expect a huge game from the All Pro defensive end.


Buffalo:

Out: QB EJ Manuel (knee)

Probable: RB C.J. Spiller (ankle), LB Manny Lawson (hamstring), CB Ron Brooks (foot), DE Mario Williams, DT Kyle Williams (illness, Achilles), WR Steve Johnson (back), QB Thad Lewis (foot)

The one big question mark for the Bills this week was the status of QB Thad Lewis. Clearly, that's not a big question anymore, because, as you can see, the Miami native is listed as probable and expects to plays on Sunday.  Lewis had a solid debut last week, and will have some extra motivation playing in his hometown.
