Wake (knee) did not practice Wednesday, but coach Adam Gase relayed after the session that he is "on track" and "not too far off" from retaking the field, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The knee issue that forced Wake to miss Week 5 against the Bengals remains in play, but Gase's words suggest the veteran's return could still be on the table Sunday against the Bears. Through four games this season, Wake has recorded 12 tackles (four solo) and one sack and he figures to return to a rotational role on the defensive line when healthy.

The Dolphins have ruled out Wake (knee) for their Week 5 matchup with the Bengals, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Wake was deemed doubtful on Friday's injury report. His absence should free up playing time for Andre Branch (knee) if he is able to go, but if he is not look for Jonathan Woodard and Charles Harris to see their roles increased. Wake will set his sights on a Week 6 return versus the Bears.

Wake (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wake was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week, leading to a doubtful designation heading into Sunday's matchup. If Wake is ultimately sidelined Week 5, expect Andre Branch (knee), Charles Harris and Jonathan Woodard to see additional reps at defensive end across from Robert Quinn.

Wake (knee) is considered day-to-day due to a knee injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wake has not yet participated in practice this week, Adam Beasley reports. The 36-year-old defensive end should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, and if Wake were to miss any time it would mean increased defensive snaps for Andre Branch (knee) and Jonathan Woodard.

Wake (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 4 tilt against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defensive end was expected to shake off his knee injury, and Sunday's inactives report confirms as much. He'll look to help the Dolphins defense keep steady pressure on Tom Brady and extend the Patriots passing game's early-season struggles in the process.

Wake (knee) is likely to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old defensive end has played all three games this season. In fact, he hasn't missed a contest since the 2015 campaign and is coming off back-to-back, double-digit sack performances. Wake notched his first sack last week and could be on his way to a third straight.

Wake (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wake was a full participant in practice to end the week, but still appears to be nursing a minor knee injury. The veteran defensive end seems likely to suit up in Week 4.

Wake (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wake seemed to be nursing a knee injury earlier in the week as evidenced by his absence from practice Wednesday. With his full participation at practice Thursday, all signs point to the former All-Pro suiting up Sunday against the Patriots.

Wake (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wake seems to be nursing a knee injury of undisclosed severity, and should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against New England. With fellow defensive end Andre Branch (knee) sidelined at least two weeks, Jonathan Woodward could be in line for an increased defensive workload.

Wake recorded 36 tackles and 10.5 sacks in 16 games for the Dolphins in 2017.

EDGE Analysis

Wake continues to distance himself from the devasting 2015 rupture of his Achilles tendon by churning out his second consecutive season with double-digit sacks. His playing time hasn't decreased despite his advanced age, as his 615 defensive snaps was a three-year high and checked in second to Ndamukong Suh among Dolphins defensive lineman. The veteran, who turns 36 on Jan. 30, remains under contract with Miami for one more season and should return in 2018 as a viable IDP prospect.
