After going 1-0 on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Miami Dolphins are busy preparing to face the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night in their second game of the season. It will be crucial to win the Week 2 game to take an early lead in the AFC East and to gain divisional bragging rights over the Bills, who also won their opening game of the season on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Dolphins didn't practice on Monday, but they still released an estimated injury report that included some players who would have missed drills. Three of the seven players on that injury report were designated as non-participants.

Additionally, the Dolphins only had a walk-through on Tuesday, and practice attendance was once again estimated, so Miami's injury report from Tuesday didn't provide a more accurate picture than it did on Monday.

Nothing changed for the Dolphins over the two days as every one of the seven players listed on Monday's report also featured on Tuesday's, and each of them was assigned the same practice classification.

Here's a closer look at Miami's injury report ahead of their Week 2 game versus Buffalo on Thursday.

Miami Dolphins' injury report for Week 2

Running backs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane were non-participants in the team's projected injury reports that were made public on Monday and Tuesday. Achane has an ankle injury while Mostert has a chest injury.

Dolphins fans will likely be concerned about both running backs' injuries with just one practice day left.

WR Malik Washington is another offensive player on the Dolphins' injury reports that was classified as a non-participant. A quadriceps issue kept Washington out of last weekend's victory over the Jaguars.

LB Jaelan Phillips was also marked as limited as the Dolphins seem to be reducing the strain on his Achilles in the wake of last year's season-ending injury. Meanwhile, OL Liam Eichenberg was listed as limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday due to a shoulder injury.

CB Jalen Ramsey was also listed by the team as limited as he continues to work his way back to fitness from a hamstring injury. The veteran was deemed questionable to play in Week 1 due to the same ailment, but he ultimately made it through.

Furthermore, LB David Long Jr. was designated as having a finger injury, but according to the injury report on Monday and Tuesday, he was a full participant in practice.

De'Von Achane's injury status

Achane missed practice for the second day in a row due to an ankle ailment.

While Achane's injury may not be serious after all, it is concerning that he did not participate in Tuesday's practice, which was only a walk-through.

Wednesday's injury report should be closely monitored as it will provide additional insight into Achane's probable status for Week 2.

Raheem Mostert's injury status

The Dolphins relied more on Jeff Wilson in the fourth quarter on Sunday against Jacksonville despite Mostert's late return to the field due to an injury.

Mostert was listed on the injury reports on Monday and Tuesday with a chest issue, which puts his availability for Thursday night's game in jeopardy.

He has one practice day remaining before facing the Bills, so if he is unable to practice on Wednesday, he probably won't be available.

Should Mostert and Achane ultimately be ruled out of the game, Miami will likely assign the majority of the running back responsibilities to rookie Jaylen Wright.
