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.
