The Miami Dolphins released their injury report for Wednesday and there are several notable things to look at. Already, the team has ruled out Terrence Fede, Mike Pouncey and Jordan Tripp for Sunday's game. There was some hope within the organization that Tripp would be able to come back and play but he still looks like he's 1-2 weeks away from returning.

Chris McCain, Koa Misi, Randy Starks and Billy Turner did not participate in practice. McCain's injury is listed as an illness so we aren't completely sure what's going on there. Misi was wearing a cast on his lower left leg and Starks was in a walking boot.

"I've said it for two-and-a-half years and I still believe it, you want every player to practice every day," Philbin said. "I can't stand up here and say, it's a positive that he's missed these practices. ... Hopefully, we'll get him [McCain] on the field as soon as we can."

Walt Aikens, Charles Clay, Knowshon Moreno, Derrick Shelby, Dion Sims, Mike Wallace and Philip Wheeler were limited in practice. All of them, with the exception of Wheeler, are expected to play on Sunday. Wheeler is still wearing a cast on his hand, which will severely limit him on the field.

For the Buffalo Bills, linebacker Keith Rivers and tight end Lee Smith did not participate in practice. Safeties Jonathan Meeks and Aaron Williams were limited in practice while CB Stephen Gilmore and WR Sammy Watkins fully participated in practice.
