First and foremost, to the sad news of the day.
Joe Philbin, who hasn't been with the team since Wednesday, returned today following a serious family matter. Well, the matter in question is now known: Paul E. Philbin, Joe's dad, has died. He passed away last night at 93 years old.
Obviously our condolences go out to the entire Philbin family.
Coach Philbin will coach tomorrow, and, like I said, has already returned to the team.
FINAL INJURY REPORT
Out: TE Dion Sims (toe)
Questionable: G Daryn Colledge (illness, back), LB Koa Misi (ankle)
Probable: TE Charles Clay (knee), LS John Denney (knee), CB Cortland Finnegan (neck), G Nate Garner (neck), LB Chris McCain (foot), C Mike Pouncey (hip), S Jimmy Wilson (hamstring)
Losing Sims may seem minor, but don't underestimate just how good Dion Sims has been this year. He's routinely been one of the strongest run and pass blockers on the team, and has been surprisingly efficient in the passing game. This is a big loss for the Dolphins.
As far as Colledge and Misi go, I'd be a little surprised if Colledge plays seeing as he hasn't practiced all week. My guess is he'll be close to a game time decision. If he doesn't play expect Dallas Thomas to get the start.
Misi has been dealing with the ankle injury all year, and missed last week's game because of it. I tend to believe he'll give it a go tomorrow, but you never know though. Jason Trusnik will start in his place if he doesn't.
More coming at ya later.
24 hours.
