The Miami Dolphins are not getting healthier but they are getting a lot more specific on their injury reports. Four starters are listed as questionable.

Questionable doesn’t mean that the four players will not play but for the Miami Dolphins it is sadly another week with mounting ailments.

Kiko Alonso, Laremy Tunsil, Ja’Wuan James, and Jakeem Grant are all listed as questionable for Sunday’s game in Green Bay. Tunsil and James are dealing with knee injuries that have kept them limited in practice this week. Alonso has an ankle issue and Grant is dealing with an Achilles issue.

While A.J. Derby is listed as a full participant in practice he too is listed as questionable on the final injury report for the week. Only two players are listed as out. Ryan Tannehill and Charles Harris. Harris has been dealing with a calf injury for several weeks now. Offensive guard Ted Larsen is doubtful with a neck injury.

After being fined earlier this week the Dolphins were sure to include some players who have been injured lately but played. DeVante Parker, Robert Quinn, and T.J. McDonald are all on the report but all three practiced fully and have no game status designation.

Miami has 21 players listed on their injury report this week. Of those 21 only five had one day where they did not practice and no one had more than one DNP. One of those five, Danny Amendola was DNP for non-football reasons.

The rest of the players either practiced on a limited basis or were full participants. Aside from Harris, Tannehill, and Larsen, we will have to wait until Sunday to see who else is not going to play.

Note: The latest on Larsen doesn’t look as though he will play.

UPDATE: The Dolphins have added guard Isaac Asiata to the active roster. There is a good chance he will see some of his first NFL action on Sunday. That could be really good or really bad. To make room the team released linebacker Martrell Spaight.
