The Dolphins did not practice Tuesday but released an estimated injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, and six players would not have participated.

Both left tackle Terron Armstead (toe/pec/knee) and running back Jeff Wilson (hip) would have been sidelined if the team held a practice. The knee injury is a new designation for Armstead, who returned from a one-game absence to play against the Los Angeles Chargers, a 23-17 loss, despite a pectoral strain. Wilson was carted off in the second quarter of the Chargers game and did not return.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel on Monday said Wilson is “day-to-day.”

“So far it was more positive than the worst-case scenario could have been,” he said.

Safety Elijah Campbell (concussion), wide receiver River Cracraft (calf), linebacker Melvin Ingram (vet rest) and safety Eric Rowe (hamstring) also would not have practiced.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who sustained an ankle injury against the Chargers but continued to play, would have been limited. McDaniel said Hill should be able to play through the injury.

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee), cornerback Kader Kohou (thumb/neck), tight end Durham Smythe (quad/knee) and defensive tackle Justin Zimmer (back) also would have been limited.

The Bills held a walkthrough Tuesday. Guard Ryan Bates, linebacker Matt Milano and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips did not practice.
