Johnson (quadriceps) is active for Thursday night's contest against the Dolphins.

Johnson will return to action in Week 3 after missing the team's 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2 with a quadriceps injury. The 29-year-old will be back in his starting role at slot cornerback versus Miami on Thursday Night Football.

Lewis (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

Lewis had a questionable tag heading into the game due to a shoulder injury after practicing in limited fashion throughout the week. He'll be ready for action and could see some work in the secondary after playing 33 defensive snaps in Week 2.

Jones (oblique) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

The defensive tackle was listed as questionable Wednesday after being tagged as a limited participant on Miami's practice reports this week. Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Colts and missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the Patriots. In the opener, he played on 18 defensive snaps but did not record a stat.

Thompson (hand/hamstring) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

Thompson was inactive for Week 2 due to a combination of hand and hamstring injuries. He'll limit his absence to one game and will likely play primarily on special teams, though his role could expand a bit in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral).

Robinson (knee) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Bills.

The 2024 first-round pick was listed as a limited participant throughout the practice week leading up to this game. Robinson logged 36 and 21 defensive snaps, respectively, in Miami's first two contests, and he has three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, on the season.

Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Darrisaw was unavailable for practice Thursday, just one day after being a full participant to open the week. The offensive lineman hasn't appeared in a game since last October, and he'll likely have to return to practice Friday in order to have any chance to play Sunday against Cincinnati.

Purdy (left shoulder/toe) officially was limited at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Purdy now has put together back-to-back capped sessions, after which he touched on his health Thursday. Calling his turf toe variant a day-to-day issue, he told Matt Barrows of The Athletic that he's "happy with the progress I've been making with my foot, my toe. ... [We] gotta see at game time how I feel." Whether Purdy retakes the reins of the offense from Mac Jones this Sunday versus the Cardinals remains to be seen, but the range of possibilities for him appear to be starter, backup or even emergency third quarterback.

Bowers (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Though Bowers was listed as questionable in advance of this past Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers, he was able to suit up and log a 77 percent snap share in that contest. With no reported setbacks, it doesn't seem like he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Commanders, but the tight end may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 3 injury designation.

Greenard (oblique) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Greenard appears to be back to full health after logging a limited practice to open the week Wednesday. The linebacker has recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, over the first two games this season, and he'll look to get after Bengals quarterback Jake Browning on Sunday.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's clash with the Bills.

The quarterback will serve as the emergency option for the third week in a row to start the season, meaning he can only enter the contest if Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson get injured, sick or ejected. Ewers was drafted in the seventh round by the Dolphins back in April.
