Dolphins News: Injuries Mounting, Draft Implications Vs. Colts, And More

Now, it looks like center Aaron Brewer and wide receiver Chris Bell could miss the game as well. Brewer is working through the NFL’s concussion protocol, while Bell was downgraded from limited in Wednesday’s practice to not practicing on Thursday due to a knee issue.
