The Miami Dolphins will have at least one sidelined starter return to practice as the team prepares for its Week 5 matchup on the road against the San Francisco 49ers.
Defensive end Shaq Lawson, who signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the Dolphins in the offseason, is expected to return to practice on Thursday after recovering from an illness that was not related to COVID-19.
“Shaq, so everyone is clear on this, it wasn’t covid-19 related. Just a bug,” Dolphins coach Brian Flores said of Lawson. “He’s feeling a lot better. He should be out there today.
