The Indianapolis Colts vs. Miami Dolphins is already an ugly matchup on paper, pitting two teams with a combined record of 3-14. However, both sides are quite undermanned, as there were six players as of Thursday who hadn't practiced all week, and two of Miami's best players went on Injured Reserve this week in quarterback Malik Willis and defensive tackle Zach Sieler.
The Colts, however, did get some good news as starting defensive backs Justin Walley (knee) and A.J. Haulcy (ankle) returned to full participation.
Here is how both teams' health is shaping up ahead of Sunday's matchup.
COLTS
WEDNESDAY
- Did Not Participate — TE Mo Alie-Cox (groin), LB Jaylon Carlies (neck), LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), S A.J. Haulcy (ankle), LS Luke Rhodes (hamstring), RT Jalen Travis (knee), CB Charvarius Ward Sr. (rest)
- Limited Participant — RB Jonathan Taylor (rest), DT Jerry Tillery (calf)
- Full Participant — ED Arden Key (IR-hamstring), CB Justin Walley (knee)

THURSDAY
- Did Not Participate — TE Mo Alie-Cox (groin), LB Jaylon Carlies (neck), LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), LS Luke Rhodes (hamstring), DT Grover Stewart (rest), DT Jerry Tillery (calf), RT Jalen Travis (knee)
- Full Participant — LB CJ Allen (back), S A.J. Haulcy (ankle), ED Arden Key (IR-hamstring), RB Jonathan Taylor (rest), CB Justin Walley (knee), CB Charvarius Ward Sr. (rest)
The Colts opened Key's 21-day practice window on Wednesday, giving them three weeks to either bring the veteran edge defender back from the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 4 or keep him on IR for the rest of the year. His full participation on Wednesday and Thursday suggests he may return as soon as this weekend.
If Alie-Cox can't play on Sunday, his work will be absorbed by fellow blocking tight end Drew Ogletree, and the Colts may also make either or both of Will Mallory or Pharaoh Brown active on gameday.
Carlies left early in last week's game, and Davis-Gaither missed it altogether.
DOLPHINS
WEDNESDAY
- Did Not Participate — C Aaron Brewer (concussion), TE Will Kacmarek (quad/knee)
- Limited Participant — LS Tucker Addington (shoulder), CB Darrell Baker Jr. (PUP-knee), WR Chris Bell (knee), DE Malik Herring (neck)
- Full Participant — RB Kaytron Allen (quad), S Michael Taaffe (wrist), S Dante Trader (shoulder/groin), RB Jaylen Wright (quad)
THURSDAY
- Did Not Participate — WR Chris Bell (knee), C Aaron Brewer (concussion)
- Limited Participant — LS Tucker Addington (shoulder), CB Darrell Baker Jr. (PUP-knee), DE Malik Herring (neck), TE Will Kacmarek (quad/knee), WR Jared Wayne (quad)
- Full Participant — RB Kaytron Allen (quad), S Michael Taaffe (wrist), S Dante Trader (shoulder/groin), RB Jaylen Wright (quad)
Brewer, Bell, and Trader are starters, so keep an eye on their status throughout the week. Brewer, in particular, is one of the NFL's best centers and has already been ruled out.
The Colts and Dolphins face off on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium.
