The Miami Dolphins head into their Week 6 home matchup against the Minnesota Vikings with several injury concerns. Among them, Raheem Mostert (knee) and Terron Armstead (toe) are nursing nagging injuries.
Days removed from tallying a season-high 113 rushing yards in the Dolphins’ Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, Mostert was sidelined from practice on Wednesday due to a knee ailment. At the least, he was able to return to practice on Thursday.
Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studesville did note during a press conference on Thursday that as it stands, he expects Mostert to play in Week 6.
On the other hand, it is still up in the air whether Armstead will receive the green light to feature in Week 6. He has been dealing with a toe injury for much of the season, as he has not been a limited participant in practice since the team’s final two sessions ahead of its Week 2 road game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Armstead, who recently met with specialists for his injury, was an early exit during the Dolphins’ road defeat to the Jets due to his toe ailment. When it comes to his status for Week 6, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Wednesday that he will need “the whole week” to come to a resolution on this matter.
In the case that Armstead ends up being ruled out for Week 6, Brandon Shell, who filled in for the veteran offensive lineman against the Jets, may then be in line to start at left tackle against Minnesota.
The Dolphins are looking to snap their two-game losing streak in Week 6.
