Wide receiver Albert Wilson will consult a specialist for more information on his hip injury, but the outlook is not promising.
Head coach Adam Gase said Monday that it was "very likely" that Wilson would be placed in the casualty pool.
"It does not look good at the moment," said Gase.
Wilson was injured in the second quarter at the end of a 25-yard quarterback reception Brock Osweiler. He was running in the middle of the field when he was caught at the back by cornerback Teez Tabor, which made him take a troublesome step.
Gase stated that he had talked to Wilson at half-time before the catcher left the stadium.
"He said he was about to take her home," Gase said. "Whenever guys get hurt, it's all that bad, especially when they have an idea of what we're doing."
Wilson, who was hired out-of-season as an unrestricted free agent, leads the Dolphins with 391 yards at the front desk and is tied with Kenny Stills and Jakeem Grant for the management team in the affected with four.
QB call: Gase confirmed that Osweiler would make his third straight start for the Dolphins against the Houston Texans on Thursday. Gase said he would have a better idea of the progression of Ryan Tannehill enter the weekend. "I think he's in a good position," Gase said. "This week being short, it would have been difficult. We will probably be able to start doing some things with him by throwing and seeing how that feels. Once we have finished this game, we will have a better idea once we get closer to the weekend to find out where it is, how much it has progressed or how good it feels. It will really take all week and we will probably have a better idea by the weekend. Gase was asked if Tannehill would start launching this week. "I think so, at some point," said Gase. "I do not know if it will be an NFL football, we could catch a nerve ball from our kids or something like that."
Stills status: Stills will also be out for the match against Houston because of the groin injury that he suffered at the end of the match against Detroit on Sunday. With Stills and Wilson, the Dolphins have more than three receivers on 53 players, but the training team includes three players in this position: Leonte Carroo, Isaiah Ford and Malcolm Lewis.
Howard at home: The match against the Texans will score the corner half Xavien Howard's NFL's first game in his hometown. "I can not wait," said Howard. "I have never played in this stage. Ready to go home. Howard said he planned to receive a visit from his family and friends at the teams' hotel while the Dolphins are in Houston. He was asked Monday what the city means to him. "That's what made me in Houston, to see what happened there," he said. "That built me, my character, who I am today. It's a big city. We are still building.
Renewed rivalry: Dolphins defensive players have high respect for quarterback DeShaun Watson of Houston in sophomore, but rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick could have a great appreciation for him after facing twice in the playoffs. Watson played Clemson, who defeated Alabama in the 2016 BCS title game in a rematch of the Alabama BCS 2015 title game. "He has played it many times at the university," Fitzpatrick said. "He made incredible games. He is one of the best quarterbacks we are going to play this year. Fitzpatrick added that Watson was the best quarter he met at the university.
