Dolphins Injury Report: Caleb Douglas Remains Out

The Miami Dolphins have released their initial injury report for their Week 5 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, and there is a long list of DNP (did not participate) and limited players.

Among the players who did not practice is wide receiver Caleb Douglas, who head coach Jeff Hafley said is "not there today," meaning he is not quite ready to return.

Here is the full injury report: 

Joining Douglas as not participating in practice are Robert Beal Jr., cornerback Reese Taylor, and inside linebacker Jackson Woodard. 

Woodard was injured in Week 4 during a special teams play, and he is now dealing with an ankle injury. Similarly, Taylor also suffered a quad injury during a punt return and did not return to the game.

Long snapper Tucker Addington remains limited due to the shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 2. Wide receiver Chris Bell continues to be listed on the report with a knee injury, despite it not holding him back from playing.

Cornerback JuJu Brents has a nagging heel injury, but the biggest addition was defensive lineman Kenneth Grant, who is now limited by a toe injury. Grant has returned to practice after spending the season on IR. 

Offensive lineman Austin Jackson is dealing with a knee injury and was limited, as was safety Dante Trader Jr., who suffered an injury in Week 4. That is now classified as a shin injury.

The only full participant on the list is cornerback Storm Duck, who has a knee injury but practiced in full.

Hafley did not state whether Duck would be taking the field, but it does as if that will be the case. He started off limited on Wednesday ahead of Week 4 and was upgraded to a full participant on the third and final injury report on Friday.

Duck did not play against the Minnesota Vikings, but being a full participant to kick things off ahead of Week 5 may mean he will get some reps during the Bengals matchup.

Even when players come back from injury, they are not thrown out onto the field immediately. They are worked back into shape, but Duck being fully healthy and back offers a huge boost to the secondary. 

Regarding the injury to Jackson, the Dolphins also worked out multiple offensive and defensive linemen. There is nothing to worry about yet, as those tryouts may have simply been due to wanting to add some depth.
