Carter and Slay return to the lineup after missing last week’s game against the Jets. Lane Johnson suffered a Grade 1 ankle sprain during the opening drive last Sunday and was somehow a full practice participant.

The offense will be particularly happy to have Johnson back, considering his replacement, Jack Driscoll, was thrown into the fire and gave up a team-high eight pressures once Johnson exited.

Sydney Brown will suit up for the first time since Week 2 and is slated to start in place of Reed Blankenship. DeVonta Smith appeared on Wednesday’s injury report with a hamstring injury but made it clear he’ll be available on Sunday. Players would rather die on the field than miss Kelly Green week.

For Miami, two-time All-Pro CB Xavien Howard is questionable with a groin injury.
