Miami Dolphins' final injury report: Dion Sims out

The Miami Dolphins (4-3) will host the San Diego Chargers (5-3) in a big game for both teams. Miami enters on a two-game winning streak, while San Diego has lost two in a row.

Here is a look at the final injury report for Miami:

Out: TE Dion Sims (toe)

Questionable: G Daryn Colledge (illness, back), LB Koa Misi (ankle)

Probable: TE Charles Clay (knee), LS John Denney (knee), CB Cortland Finnegan (neck), G Nate Garner (neck), LB Chris McCain (foot), C Mike Pouncey (hip), S Jimmy Wilson (hamstring)

Analysis: The Dolphins are very healthy to enter the midpoint of the season. Sims, Miami's backup tight end, will miss his first game of the season. Rookie Gator Hoskins will take some reps behind starting tight end Clay on Sunday. Colledge is a wild card, because he hasn't practiced all week. However, Colledge also is one of Miami's toughest players and said he's aiming to play. If Colledge cannot start, backup guard Dallas Thomas or Nate Garner will replace him. For the Chargers, running back Ryan Mathews (knee) has been ruled out, which is good news for Miami’s defense. Matthews gave the Dolphins trouble last season and rushed for 127 yards. San Diego linebacker Manti Te'o (foot) and cornerback Jason Verrett (shoulder) also were ruled out.
