LINEUP NOTES AND OTHER TIDBITS

-- Dolphins players not expected to play because of injuries or recovering from injuries: WR Jaylen Waddle, T Terron Armstead, S Brandon Jones, CB Keion Crossen, RB Myles Gaskin, CB Jalen Ramsey, FB Alec Ingold, CB Justin Bethel, WR Braylon Sanders.

-- Head coach Mike McDaniel didn't reveal his plans for the quarterback position, including whether Tua Tagovailoa would see action, but suggested after the preseason opener that Skylar Thompson likely would get into the game before Mike White, the opposite of what happened against the Atlanta Falcons. "Skylar needs an opportunity to play with the same guys that Mike played with, which he’ll probably get next week," McDaniel said.

-- In their second preseason game in 2022, the Dolphins used three quarterbacks — Tagovailoa, Teddy Bridgewater and Thompson.

-- Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, McDaniel's former colleague with the San Francisco 49ers, said that rookie second overall pick C.J. Stroud would get the start for his team.

-- Ryans also suggested that all healthy players would be in the lineup and that includes former Dolphins tackle Laremy Tunsil.

-- The Dolphins roster features 16 players with connections to the Houston area: RB De'Von Achane, CB Ethan Bonner, WR Keke Coutee, S DeShon Elliott, LB Cameron Goode, TE Elijah Higgins, CB Xavien Howard, OL Robert Hunt, S Brandon Jones, DE Emmanuel Ogbah, T Cedric Ogbuehi, DB Jamal Perry, TE Durham Smythe, WR Jaylen Waddle, OL Connor Williams and RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
