Dolphins Face Packers Without Key Defensive Starters Walker and Fuller

Miami's Anthony Walker and Kendall Fuller are unlikely to play Thursday, while Isaiah Wynn returns to the active roster after a 13-month injury recovery.

• Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. is expected to miss Thursday’s game against the Packers due to a hamstring injury sustained in Sunday’s win over the Patriots, though it is not considered long-term.
• Cornerback Kendall Fuller remains in concussion protocol and is likely to miss his third consecutive game after suffering his second concussion of the season on November 11.
• Tyrel Dodson, who impressed with an interception against the Patriots, is expected to start in Walker’s place at inside linebacker.
• Offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn has been activated off the physically-unable-to-perform list after recovering from a quadriceps injury that sidelined him for over a year.
• The Dolphins made roster adjustments, including waiving Lester Cotton to make room for Wynn and signing long snapper Zach Triner to address ongoing issues at the position.
