No injury designation for Week 4 Fuller (chest/elbow) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Fuller has trended in the right direction throughout the week, upgrading to limited participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, then practicing in full Friday to shed his injury label. After a quiet season debut in which he totaled just 20 yards, Fuller will look to step it up in the second appearance of his Dolphins tenure.

On track for Sunday Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Fuller (chest/elbow) is expected to play Sunday versus the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Fuller returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session due to the chest and elbow issues, and it appears neither injury will affect his availability for Week 4. Whether the 27-year-old receives the questionable tag will be cleared up when Miami releases its final injury report of the week later Friday.

If he's able to go this weekend, Fuller will combine with Jaylen Waddle and DeVante Parker to head Miami's Week 4 wideout corps.

Returns to practice Fuller (chest/elbow) returned to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Tending to pair of injuries Fuller didn't practice Wednesday due to chest and elbow injuries, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, Fuller was shaken up late in Sunday's overtime loss to the Raiders. As a result, the wideout's status will need to be monitored as this weekend's game against the Colts approaches. If Fuller is out or limited Week 4, Albert Wilson and/or Preston Williams could return to action after both were inactive against Las Vegas.

Not spotted at practice Fuller wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Oyefusi notes that Fuller was shaken up late in Sunday's overtime loss to the Raiders, so the wideout's absence appears to be injury-related. Wednesday's practice report will help clarify his Week 4 status, either way.

Slow day in Dolphins debut Fuller caught three of six targets for 20 yards and secured a two-point conversion during Sunday's overtime loss to the Raiders.

Impact Fill-in quarterback Jacoby Brissett totaled only 215 yards on 49 pass attempts, with 25 of those passes intended for Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki, most of which came in the short passing game. After missing the first two games of the season, Fuller's debut with Miami was affected heavily by the absence of Tua Tagovailoa (ribs), as Brissett's reliance on short passes doesn't mesh well with Fuller's skill set as a downfield threat. Fuller's fantasy outlook may remain limited until Tagovailoa is able to return from injured reserve, which won't be until after Week 5.

Impact Fuller hasn't been listed on Miami's injury report since returning to team facilities. After missing the first week of the season due to a suspension and Week 2 due to a personal issue, all signs now point to Fuller making his team debut during Sunday's game against the Raiders. With Jacoby Brissett set to start under center in place of Tua Tagovailoa (ribs), Miami's offense can use all the skill-position help possible.
