We won’t see either of Dolphins’ recent activations off of the PUP list, right?

The Dolphins activated both wide receiver Preston Williams and linebacker Elandon Roberts off of the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List earlier this week. Roberts is returning from a knee injury, Williams from a foot. Both injuries were suffered last season and apparently both players are ready to start ramping up the intensity for another go in 2021.

Miami has intriguing depth at both positions, even amid the wave of injuries to hit the wide receiver room. So despite the return of both players, they’re still very new to 2021 activities and we’d expect we will not see them tonight versus Atlanta. Expect Miami to take their time weaning both into contact.
