The Miami Dolphins are in Germany for Week 9, slated to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Many around the league are calling this the game of the week given both teams’ record of 6-2.
A win for either team vaults them closer to the top spot in the AFC, so there are serious implications for both teams in this game.
Ahead of this game, Mike McDaniel provided a positive update about one of their marquee players.
According to Cameron Wolfe, McDaniel said that Terron Armstead has returned to practice, and could be eligible to play if he gets medically cleared.

This is massive news for the Dolphins, especially against the Chiefs’ defensive front.
Any additional pieces they can have at their disposal are helpful in this meaningful game.
If Armstead plays, Tua Tagovailoa will have more time in the pocket hoping to hit Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle downfield for massive gains.
Armstead isn’t the only Dolphins player to have positive news ahead of this game.
As Wolfe mentioned, Jevon Holland is out of the concussion protocol and should play to help the defense against Patrick Mahomes.
The Dolphins could benefit from re-watching the tape from the Chiefs’ loss against the Denver Broncos last week.
They figured out a way to contain Travis Kelce, one of the most difficult offensive players to guard in the league.
If Holland and his counterparts on the defensive side of the ball can replicate that success, the Dolphins could leave Germany with a much-needed win.
