Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker has been designated to return off injured reserve and has opened his 21-day practice window. Head coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism about Baker returning for the game against the Buffalo Bills. Baker's practice week went well, and the team is optimistic about his availability for the game. The Dolphins have activated Baker off injured reserve, setting the stage for his return after missing the last 4 games with a knee injury. However, Baker has been ruled out for the wild-card round, as he had wrist surgery and is unlikely to play in the playoffs. Additionally, linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel is questionable to return against the Bills due to a foot injury but has been ruled out for the rest of the season. The Dolphins have signed veteran pass rushers Justin Houston and Bruce Irvin and placed Baker, Van Ginkel, and Cam Goode on injured reserve, ending their seasons.
