Long (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Long appears to be dealing with a knee injury following the Dolphins' bye week, but he still practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the 28-year-old is unable to play through injury in Week 7, expect Anthony Walker to start alongside Jordyn Brooks in Miami's inside-linebacker corps.

Long (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots and is expected to play, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing last Monday night's game against Tennessee, Long was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. Anthony Walker will likely head back to the bench on defense with Long back in the lineup. Through three games, Long has 21 tackles (18 solo), including two TFLs.

Long (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Long, who had been listed as doubtful, was unable to practice leading up to the contest and will now target a possible return Oct. 6 against the Patriots. In his absence, Anthony Walker is a candidate to see added snaps versus Tennessee.

Long (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Titans, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Seahawks. He's unlikely to suit up Monday against the Titans -- the team that selected him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft -- and his next chance at playing will be Week 5 against the Patriots on Oct. 6. In Long's predicted absence, Anthony Walker would be the next man up at inside linebacker alongside starter Jordyn Brooks.

Long (hamstring) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Anthony Walker would likely make the start next to Jordyn Brooks on Monday night if Long is unable to play versus Tennessee.

Long (hamstring) is not practicing Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long left Sunday's loss to the Seahawks early with the injury and clearly has yet to fully recover. Furones notes that according to head coach Mike McDaniel, Long is "doing absolutely everything he can for this opportunity" in reference to having a chance to play against his former Titans squad in a Week 4 Monday night matchup.

Long recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills were able to run the ball frequently in a lopsided win, creating a healthy number of opportunities for tackles for Long. He continued to play essentially an every-down role in Week 2, and as long as he retains that role, he figures to carry some IDP value in most formats.

Long, who briefly left Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars, due to a hand injury stated Monday that he is fine, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long finished the day with eight tackles (seven solo) despite missing a few snaps with the injury. The veteran linebacker admitted his hand is, "a little sore," but considering he was able to return to the game and continue competing, it doesn't appear there will be any lingering effects with the injury. He should be available for Thursday's divisional showdown with the Bills.
