Mostert was a limited participant in training on Wednesday and Thursday. He will be closely monitored in practice on Friday before being given a status for Sunday's game.

Per reports, Mostert suffered a chest injury in Miami's Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dolphins coach McDaniel said the injury occurred early in the game, but he did not disclose the extent or type of damage.

Mostert recorded nine rushing yards on six attempts and 10 yards on three receptions against Jacksonville. He has tallied 3.9 fantasy points this season, but that number is expected to increase significantly if he remains healthy for the season.

The silver lining for the Dolphins is that Mostert returned to training last week, and although he did not play in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans, he is in line to return in Week 5.
