Dolphins WR Will Fuller returns to practice but starting offensive lineman missing
Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller returned to practice Thursday, a positive development for his availability ahead of the team’s Week 4 home game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Fuller was limited with a chest and elbow injury after not practicing Wednesday. He appeared to sustain an injury in the overtime loss to the Las Vegas Raiders during an incomplete pass in the end zone that was controversially not flagged for defensive pass interference. Fuller caught three passes for 20 yards in his team debut.
While Fuller returned to practice, another Dolphins offensive starter was missing from practice
Center Michael Deiter, who was limited Wednesday with a foot and quad injury, did not practice Thursday. If Deiter cannot play Sunday, veteran Greg Mancz, whom the Dolphins acquired in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens in late August, would likely start. It would be the fourth different offensive line combination in as many games for a unit that has had early struggles.
Mancz, a seven-year veteran who has spent time with the Ravens and Houston Texans, has started 28 games and appeared in 58.
