The Dolphins made some changes to their starting lineup for last Thursday’s game against the Bengals and it looks like they may have another one coming soon.

Unlike the decision to put cornerback Byron Maxwell on the bench, this one won’t be related to an underperforming starter.

Center Mike Pouncey said, via Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald, that he will practice on Tuesday. Pouncey has been sidelined by a hip injury since the middle of August and was replaced in the starting lineup by Anthony Steen, although Steen missed last Thursday’s loss to the Bengals with an ankle injury.

The Dolphins also played without left tackle Branden Albert in that game, leaving with a makeshift group up front as they fell to 1-3. Avoiding 1-4 would be made easier if both Albert and Pouncey are in the lineup against the Titans this Sunday, although the team will likeky spend a couple of days making sure the center is ready to go after an extended layoff.
