The Miami Dolphins' first official post-bye injury report clarified the nature of injuries to certain players, but mostly, it was a pretty encouraging list.

The biggest news was that not one player missed practice because of an injury. The two missing players—tackle Terron Armstead and defensive lineman Calais Campbell—were absent because of a rest day.

The Dolphins did have five players listed as limited, led by safety Jevon Holland, who sustained a hand injury in the Week 5 victory against the New England Patriots.

Fellow safety Jordan Poyer was back at practice on a limited basis, still dealing with the shin injury that forced him to sit out the past two games.

Meanwhile, the other three players listed as limited missed practice altogether on Monday, but now we know the nature of their injuries: OLB Mohamed Kamara (ankle), LB David Long, Jr. (knee), and LB Emmanuel Ogbah (bicep).

De'Von Achane was listed as a full participant, a sign the running back could clear concussion protocol Thursday if he doesn't experience any symptoms.

Cornerback Cam Smith also was listed as a full participant, though he remains on IR with the hamstring injury that cost him the first five games.

This indicates that Smith should be ready to be moved to the 53-man roster this weekend if the Dolphins decide to do so.

Finally, quarterback Skylar Thompson also participated fully, indicating that his rib injury has healed enough that he should be able to serve as the No. 2 quarterback against the Colts after being inactive in Week 5.

COLTS INJURY REPORT

The Dolphins' first Week 7 injury report was much more favorable than that of the Colts, who had nine players miss practice because of injuries on Wednesday.

The list was highlighted by RB Jonathan Taylor, who has missed the past two games with an ankle injury, and WR Michael Pittman, who scored the game-winning touchdown in the Colts' victory against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday despite a back injury.

Also not practicing Wednesday were WR Josh Downs (toe), C Ryan Kelly (calf), CB Chris Lammons (ankle), DE Dayo Odeyingbo (hamstring), RB Trey Sermon (knee), T Braden Smith (knee) and LB E.J. Speed (knee).

Quarterback Anthony Richardson was listed as a full participant, indicating he should be in the starting lineup Sunday after missing the past two games because of an oblique injury.
