The Dolphins left for Houston on Tuesday without Albert Wilson and Kenny Stills, their two leading receivers this season.
But they boarded the flight with three practice squad receivers who are hoping for a promotion to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.
There’s a good chance Miami will promote one of the three, with Leonte Carroo and Isaiah Ford in strong contention and Malcolm Lewis seemingly less likely to get the call.
Whoever is promoted likely would serve as the fourth receiver behind Danny Amendola, DeVante Parker and Jakeem Grant.
