Dolphins right tackle Dallas Thomas' status up in the air

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins (7-7) continue their preparation for the Minnesota Vikings (6-8).

Here are some Dolphins' notes from Thursday's practice:

  • The status of starting right tackle Dallas Thomas remains up in the air. He missed his second consecutive practice because of a foot injury suffered in Sunday’s 41-13 loss to the New England Patriots. Thomas has been inconsistent at right tackle since getting a chance to start late in the season. If he can't go, backup Jason Fox is expected to start.

  • Backup running back Daniel Thomas also missed his second straight practice because of a knee injury. This could open the door for backups Damien Williams and seldom-used LaMichael James to get more opportunities against the Vikings.

  • The Dolphins continue to get healthy at linebacker. Starters Koa Misi and Jelani Jenkins both practiced for the second straight day. This is a good sign that both could be available.

Miami will continue its preparation for Minnesota on Friday.
