Even beyond quarterback — where Ryan Tannehill remains out — the Dolphins’ injury situation remains a mess, with uncertainty at several positions, particularly defensive end.
Here’s the potential good news: Cornerback Bobby McCain said his injured knee is 100 percent healthy and he will play against Detroit on Sunday. McCain said he could have played last Sunday, and expected to, but the team held him back to be cautious.
But he was limited in practice Wednesday and the Dolphins haven’t said for sure if he will play.
His replacement, Torry McTyer, struggled badly and was benched against Chicago.
