The Miami Dolphins’ second injury report this week is based on estimates, because the team had a drill, but it has some good news anyway.

The two most important ones involve quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

Despite a finger injury, Tagovailoa was promoted to an official participant on Thursday. For those who might downplay its importance because of the drill, please consider including Tua as a limited participant in all three drills before the game on Thursday night. Last week Baltimore Ravens.

As for Wilkins, he and defensive guard Ilya Campbell were both listed as limited participants after missing training on Wednesday. Wilkins is dealing with a quadriceps injury, and Campbell missed the game against the Ravens with a toe injury.

Safety Brandon Jones (ankle) and linebacker Andrew Van Kinkel (guard) were listed as limited participants for the second consecutive day; Jerome Baker (knee) and Jacoby Brissett (knee) were again listed as official participants; tight end Adam Shaheen (shoulder) is removed from the injury list.

The Jets’ injury report showed no change from Wednesday.

A game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium will bring safety Brandon Jones back to where he recorded his first NFL dismissal.

In the Dolphins' 20-3 win in December last year, Jones ended the Jets' last offense with a third sack against Sam Darnold.

"It was really weird because there was no one in the stands," Jones recalled Thursday. "When I was fired, I started and I was very excited. Then I heard that no one actually made any noise or anything, so I was a little confused. It was so cool to be able to get my first sack. I Hope it’s in front of the crowd. It’s cool if it’s a family crowd. It will be ignited. I might try to do some kind of dance moves or something like that. It’s cool. I like it."

Jones did clarify that the Dolphins' sideline was very excited after his exit.

"They were set ablaze," Jones said. "And Christian (Wilkins) will always find you when you are playing. You always have to be careful with him. (Laughter)"

NFL.com reporter Tom Pellisero published an article for the fifth consecutive year, based on conversations with league coaches and executives, identifying potential future head coaches among candidates aged 45 or younger.

It is interesting to see the name of former Dolphins defensive coordinator Patrick Graham in this year's candidates, who is now the assistant head coach of the New York Giants and DC. Graham worked in Miami in 2019, and he declined the opportunity to be interviewed by the New York Jets this offseason.

More interesting is the list of candidates after this year, which includes three current Dolphins assistant coaches: DB coach Gerald Alexander, LB coach Anthony Campanile and WR coach Josh Grizzard.

Cornerback Xavien Howard revealed a very interesting news at a media conference on Thursday. He said that former Bears cornerback Charles "Peanut" Tillman spoke to the Dolphins during a joint training session in Chicago last August.

Howard specifically mentioned the need to talk about defensive guards and focus on trying to steal the ball from the opponent's offensive players.

"This is one thing he was talking about. I tried to add this to my game because I didn't hit the ball and force a turnover," Howard said. "Every time the ball is in front of me or the holder gets the ball, I try to hit the ball. This is what I try to add to my game."

Howard recovered two turnovers this season, including one against Baltimore, which resulted in him being named the AFC's best offensive player of the week.

When the wide receiver/special team's excellent McHollins was about to end, someone pointed out to him that he was always in good spirits, and when he was asked what he would say to someone in a bad mood today, he explained his life View.

"My view of life is very straightforward," Hollins said. "People in the dressing room will say,'It’s weird that you think that way.' But soon I will be trapped in a box full of mud. So if I live "Oh, this (expletive) sucks Get into the dirt so early. You might as well live your life and enjoy it as much as you can.

"Yes, you have (expletive) time. Everyone has (expletive) time. But some people have (expletive) time, and then those times are over, and then they don’t have time. So you would rather have no time or find a way to play Are you happy? I would rather find a way to have fun. This may sound strange. Why is your outlook on life that you may be dead? Because I have so much time. Why not enjoy? I don’t know my moment will be When. I want to have fun, I want to enjoy it, I want to try to let others enjoy it. I don’t know like seeing others in a bad mood, if I can make you feel better, so be it. Because the days continue. Why are you in a bad mood?

"I think this sentence is about tape. Can you fix it with tape, yes or no? If the answer is yes, fix it with tape. If the answer is no, then you can't fix it, so yes" it. this is life. If you can solve the problem, solve it. If you can't, then don't worry. This is how I look at life. "

Hollins explained that he saw his tape analogy somewhere on the Internet.

"That's just memes or something," he said, "but if you look at life, you can solve the problem, yes or no? Yes, I can solve the problem, okay, go to solve it. Now the problem is solved "If I can't solve the problem, then why do you feel pressured for things you can't solve? Now you don't need to worry. Anyway, I got rid of this problem. "

Linebacker Benardrick McKinney's short experience with the Dolphins this year was disappointing. He really returned to the NFL.

After spending several weeks in the team's practice team and being promoted in two games, the one-time Pro Bowl selection was signed to the New York Giants' active roster.

Of course, McKinney was traded by the Dolphins for marginal guard Shaq Lawson in this offseason, and the trade also involved the exchange of late draft picks. It's bad enough that McKinney didn't even enter the last layoff before the start of the regular season, but this happened after he was forced to cut his salary (and his contract was reduced from three years to one year) in late July.

When the Giants arrive at Hard Rock Stadium on December 5th, McKinney will have a chance to reap some rewards in the game against the Dolphins.
