Douglas made an immediate impact in his first action since Week 2. The rookie third-round pick capped the game's first drive with a seven-yard touchdown catch for his first NFL TD, then stayed in along the sideline to score again on a 63-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Miami utilizes a run-heavy approach when possible, but the Dolphins may be forced to throw more if they fall behind as expected in Week 8 against the Patriots, which could lead to more opportunities for Douglas.

Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas set to return vs. Jets

Miami Dolphins rookie receiver Caleb Douglas will play Sunday against the New York Jets after missing the past three games with a right ankle injury.

The rookie wideout hasn't played since Week 2 due to an ankle sprain. He'll return to a wideout corps that has been featuring Malik Washington and fellow rookies Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman as its three-wide set. Douglas should push Bell for an every-down role alongside Washington, bumping Coleman down the depth chart. Only Washington is a reliable fantasy option in 12-team leagues.

Back practicing with Miami this week for the first time since exiting a Sept. 20 loss to the 49ers due to an ankle injury, Douglas had his reps capped for the second day in a row. The wideout noted Wednesday that he's viewing himself as day-to-day at this stage of his recovery, and he'll likely need to upgrade to full participation at Friday's practice to head into Sunday's game against the Jets without a designation. If available to play this weekend, Douglas will likely slide back into a top-three role at receiver.

The rookie wideout was able to get back on the field in some capacity for the first time since exiting a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. After a three-game absence, Douglas will likely need to turn in at least one full practice during Week 7 prep in order for the Dolphins to clear him to play Sunday against the Jets.

Following their Week 6 bye, the Dolphins won't submit their first Week 7 injury report until Wednesday, but Douglas looks poised to be listed as something other than a non-participant in practice for the first time since injuring his ankle in a Sept. 20 loss to the 49ers. Given the length of his absence, Douglas will likely need to practice fully by the end of the week to have a good shot at suiting up Sunday versus the Jets, but if available, he could immediately reclaim a prominent role in the Miami passing corps. In his first two NFL contests, the rookie third-round pick notched seven receptions for 113 yards on 10 targets.

Even though they're on bye for Week 6, the Dolphins held an informal session Tuesday. Douglas didn't look to be mixing into drills with his healthy teammates, which has been the trend since he injured his ankle in a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. The rookie wideout will look to take advantage of the bye week with the hope of making enough progress in his recovery to potentially resume practicing with the Dolphins when the team kicks off Week 7 prep next Wednesday.

With Douglas set to miss a third straight game, Miami again will trot out Malik Washington, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman as its primary three-receiver set.

After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Douglas appears to be making some progress in his recovery, but his status for Sunday still trends toward another absence. If he remains out, Miami would be without the rookie wide receiver for a third straight game, allowing Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman to play significant snaps at wide receiver alongside target hog Malik Washington.

Douglas hasn't practiced or played since hurting his ankle in Week 2 against the 49ers. The rookie third-round pick is trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Bengals, though Douglas could gain at least a glimmer of hope to play by returning to practice Friday.

Hafley said the rookie wideout is improving after missing Miami's last two games, but Douglas' status for Week 5 against the Bengals remains in question. Douglas will likely need to return to practice as a full participant by Friday in order to have a realistic chance at suiting up Sunday. If Douglas winds up being sidelined again, the Dolphins would likely lean on Malik Washington, Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman to take on most of the snaps at receiver.

Douglas has missed the Dolphins' last two games while recovering from the ankle injury he sustained in a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. Hafley noted that the Dolphins are proceeding "one day at a time" with Douglas, who hasn't practiced in any fashion since getting injured and likely will need to turn in at least one full practice this week to have a chance at playing Sunday. Miami is on bye in Week 6, so the team could opt to take a conservative approach with the rookie wideout and hold him out for a third straight contest if he's still not back to full speed by the weekend.

Douglas will remain sidelined for a second straight contest, allowing fellow rookie Chris Bell to handle an increased role on offense alongside Malik Washington. Bell turned eight targets into four catches for 67 yards last Sunday against the Chiefs while playing 71.2 percent of the Dolphins' offensive snaps.

Douglas didn't practice last week prior to sitting out this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Jeff Hafley provided some optimism earlier in the week by labeling Douglas day-to-day, but the rookie wide receiver has yet to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Minnesota. Douglas will likely have to practice in at least some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report.

Hafley labeled Douglas as day-to-day when he spoke to the media Monday, but the rookie wideout apparently hasn't made enough progress in his recovery from the ankle injury two days later to practice in any fashion. Considering he missed the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, Douglas will probably need to put in a full practice by Friday in order to approach Sunday's game in Minnesota without a designation.
