Poyer (thumb) said Monday that he expects to resume practicing Tuesday, C. Isaiah Smalls of The Miami Herald reports.

Poyer revealed Monday that the hand cast he's donning is due to a fracture on the bottom of his right thumb, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, but he's now nearly recovered from the injury. The starting safety's final chance to suit up for preseason action will come Friday on the road against Tampa Bay.
