It’s possible the Dolphins’ top two wide receivers practice against the Lions this week in Detroit; and two defensive backs bound to return.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is sitting out Friday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Hill has been dealing with an oblique injury that was made worse during a recent practice. Hill sat out Wednesday's practice after leaving early the previous day with an undisclosed injury.

Safety Dante Trader Jr., who sat out a week's worth of work because of a soft tissue issue, returned to the field on Thursday. According to coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins shelved Trader, the team's 2025 fifth-round pick, with the hopes he'd be healthy enough to participate in Friday's joint practice.
