Mike Pouncey hasn’t played in the last three games because of a recurring hip problem.

He doesn’t know if he’ll play in any of the next four, either.

The Dolphins center admitted he wasn’t sure when or if he’d be back this season, deferring the question to coach Adam Gase

“You’ve got to ask coach Gase that one,” Pouncey said, via Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald. “I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes.”

He said he didn’t know how he re-injured the hip, but said it “feels good.” But he visited a specialist while the team was on the West Coast, and was told he didn’t need another surgery.

“Anytime you don’t have to get surgery, it’s the best news in the world,” he said.

The Dolphins started Anthony Steen in his place during Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, while Branden Albert and Laremy Tunsil were just coming back from injuries. The line as a whole didn’t hold up well, and could clearly use some stability in the middle.

Pouncey missed the first four games of the season, but then returned to the lineup before missing the last three.
