Two Dolphins veteran players returns to Amazing practice ahead of weekend clash.
The Miami Dolphins got some great injury news yesterday when Tyreek Hill returned to practice. The star wide receiver missed last weeks game against the New York Jets with an ankle injury and was also sidelined during Wednesday’s practice. Even though Hill practice, his status for the upcoming Dallas Cowboys game is still uncertain but it is a promising sign that Hill was back out there. We

Miami Dolphins Practice Report and Injury Update: Promising Signs for Tyreek Hill, De’Von Achane
While the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line is still a big-time concern, Thursday’s practice suggested some much-needed health improvements elsewhere.
Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons made some interesting comments ahead of his team’s Sunday matchup with the Miami Dolphins.
The 10-4 Cowboys are set to face off against the 10-4 Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Parsons was asked about the challenge of trying to contain Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The Cowboys star praised Hill, but not before claiming that he was fasted than the 29-year-old wideout nicknamed “cheetah.”
“Tyreek knows I am faster than him,” said Parsons. “It’s not fun at all when you’re getting ready to go against someone like Tyreek Hill because I know I got to run faster than I ever have all year. I might hit a miles per hour mach speed chasing someone like him.”
Parsons’ spicy take comes with some evidence. The Cowboys star comfortably beat Hill and several other speedsters in the NFL’s Fastest Man Race during the Pro Bowl two seasons ago (video here).
Hill and Parsons have had a friendly rivalry going on for quite some time. The Dolphins star issued a warning for Parsons way back in September despite their matchup not being until Christmas Eve. Hill claimed that he had “a present” ready for Parsons when their two teams finally matched up.
With sparks already flying between the two, the real winners may be football fans who get to watch the Dolphins-Cowboys game for the holidays.
Prescott and Purdy are two of the leading candidates for the NFL MVP trophy entering Week 15. Tagovailoa isn’t far behind.
Some question Purdy’s true value to the 49ers given that he has 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan calling the shots from the sideline.
To Purdy’s credit, he’s stepped up in big spots and capitalized on his opportunities under center in San Francisco. But there’s an argument to be made that he does qualify as an excellent game manager more than a game changer.
Prescott, on the other hand, is having a career year with the Cowboys this season. He’s thrown for 3,505 yards with an NFL-best 28 passing touchdowns and just 6 interceptions.
After being labeled as turnover prone last season, Prescott has dropped his interception rate to 1.3% — the lowest since his rookie year. His near-70% completion rate would also be a career high if he keeps it up for the rest of the season.
Claiming that the NFL’s leader in passing touchdowns isn’t a game changer is quite the spicy take from Newton. But controversial comments from the eccentric Newton are hardly a surprise these days.
