The Miami Dolphins have released their third and final injury report ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The report contains many of the players head coach Jeff Hafley had previously ruled out, and more updates.
One of the most significant updates is wide receiver Chris Bell being upgraded ahead of the matchup.
The full injury report is as follows:

As detailed by Hafley earlier on Friday, wide receiver Caleb Douglas, edge Robert Beal Jr., and cornerback Storm Duck have already been ruled out.
Additionally, Hafley stated that center Aaron Brewer's hand injury that saw the lineman be limited on Wednesday, was nothing to worry about. Brewer was upgraded to a full participant and has no injury status heading into the game.
Following Brewer is long snapper Tucker Addington, who still has a shoulder injury but has no status for the game.
Bell was also upgraded to a full participant after being limited on both Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury.
Defensive lineman Zeek Biggers (ankle), safety Dante Trader Jr. (groin), cornerback JuJu Brents (knee/heel), tight end Seydou Traore (thumb), Josh Uche (thumb), and running back Jaylen Wright (foot), also all have no injury statuses and were full participants for Week 4.
Hafley did offer some bigger updates on players who have been out, such as Duck. The veteran corner is still working his way back from a knee injury that has kept him out for 2026 thus far, but the Dolphins' head coach stated he should be back soon.
Also, defensive tackle Kenneth Grant has been "impatient" and wants to get back out on the field, but he started the season on the IR due to an undisclosed lower-body injury. Grant is set to return to practice and could be back soon as well.
The Dolphins are starting to get healthy, which is a good sign for the team and the growth that is being put on the field as well.
When Duck and Grant come back, it could be at the perfect time, as both would offer a big boost on the defensive side of the ball. Hafley admitted that the team has "missed" the defensive tackle, and he could be counted on to help boost the run stop and pass rush on that side of the ball.
The secondary would also get some more stabilization with Duck back in the lineup; both would also have to be brought along slowly.
