Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno (elbow) took limited practice reps Wednesday. The Dolphins are trying to determine if he can play with a bulky brace on his elbow. If he returns this week, it would put a dent in Lamar Miller’s potential upside.

Dolphins trying to figure out if Knowshon Moreno can play with brace

Dolphins Knowshon Moreno returned to practice Monday and is working with a bulky protective brace on his elbow. The Dolphins are trying to figure out if he can play with the brace.

"I think it's just a matter of him getting used to playing with it in practice. He's got to get a feel of it and carrying the ball with it, pass protection," coach Joe Philbin said. "Obviously we just can't have him in there when we are running the ball or free release him all the time. Those are things we take the practice week to figure out."

When Moreno is cleared to play he'll likely compete with Daniel Thomas for the role as Miami's third-down back, which was the spot he held in the season opener.

Fantasy Impact:

The Dolphins' rushing attack has done just fine without Moreno, averaging 142.3 yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry. Miami enters this Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, who are allowing 163 rushing yards per game, fifth in the NFL in rushing. Lamar Miller did well against the Chiefs and Dolphins so the matchups were favorable, and many feel he's not lead back material. The story mentions Moreno will compete with Thomas for third down back duties, but there really shouldn't be much competition here assuming Moreno can perform. Moreno was arguably their lead back before he got hurt.

Knowshon Moreno back at practice, could play Week 6

Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno either made a miraculous comeback during the bye week or he has a really strange sense of humor, but he returned to practice on Monday after saying he’d be out four more weeks.

Before leaving for the bye week, Moreno said matter-of-factly he had about four more weeks to go in his recovery. He was asked twice if he serious, and he said yes.

Regardless, it’s looking like Moreno could be back in time for Sunday’s home game against Green Bay. His arm was wrapped but he participated in team drills — a good sign this early in the week.

Moreno hasn’t played since injuring his elbow on his first drive of a Week 2 loss to Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact:

Surprising news as Moreno said he had about a month to go in his recovery. Moreno emerged as the lead back for the Dolphins before getting hurt early in Week 2. Lamar Miller filled in nicely, but had a couple of favorable matchups. Given what seems to be some kind of misunderstanding between Moreno and the press in his recovery time, it's possible the Dolphins ease Moreno back into action, and he at least splits carries with Miller. Either way, this hurt's Miller's value a bit going forward, especially for owners who thought he had the lead role for several more weeks.

Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno (elbow) has 'four more weeks' before his return

Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno, who suffered a dislocated elbow in Week 2, told the Palm Beach Post today that he’s still about four weeks away from returning.

“I probably got like four more weeks,” Moreno said. “About four more weeks and I’ll be good.”

It was a surprising dose of honesty from Moreno who can be coy with the media. Moreno was asked twice if he was being serious, and he said yes.

Fantasy Impact:

Lamar Miller will continue to hold RB2 value as long as Moreno is sidelined.
