MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins running back Knowshon Moreno is expected to return from his elbow injury on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. He is listed as "probable" on the team's official injury report.
Moreno, who was injured in Week 2, practiced every day this week but said he was having trouble adjusting to a bulky brace that he must wear on his left arm. When asked what was the biggest complication with wearing the brace, Moreno responded: "Everything."
The Dolphins (2-2) are ranked fifth in rushing at 142.3 yards per game. They will be at full strength with starter Lamar Miller, who averages 5.7 yards per carry, and Moreno as the backup. Green Bay's run defense is ranked last in the NFL. The Packers (3-2) allow 163 rushing yards per game.
Moreno got off to a fast start by rushing for 134 yards and a touchdown in Miami's Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. He signed a one-year contract with Miami as a free agent in the offseason.
