Moreno back this week

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero believes Knowshon Moreno (elbow) was "being quirky" when he suggested last week he was four weeks away from returning. "That was always worst case," wrote Salguero. Salguero believes the Dolphins' decision to waive backup RB Orleans Darkwa on Monday indicates they "obviously feel confident" Moreno will be available for Week 6 against the Packers. Moreno should have been stashed to this point, but he's now a must-add wherever he was let go. When healthy, the Dolphins have shown more fondness for Moreno as a feature runner, utilizing Lamar Miller as a change-of-pace back. Miami also suddenly has put together one of the better offensive lines in the league. C/RG Mike Pouncey will return from his hip injury this week.

Moreno, who suffered a dislocated elbow in Week 2, participated in team drills Monday with his arm in a large brace, the Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: In advance of the Dolphins' Week 5 bye, Moreno suggested that he was about four weeks away from a return, but his presence on the field Monday suggests that he has a chance to play as soon as Sunday's game against the Packers. "I'm just taking it day by day, seeing how I feel the next couple of days and go from there," Moreno said Monday, adding that if he plays this weekend, he'd likely to have use the brace that he sported on Monday. Once he returns to action, Moreno would figure to be eased back in, given the solid start that teammate Lamar Miller (averaging 5.7 yards per carry to date) is off to.
