Armstead and Howard were among the four players who did not practice Friday, along with Tagovailoa and tackle Eric Fisher, who has missed the past two games with a calf injury and was listed as doubtful.
Little was an addition to the injury report Friday, suggesting he got hurt in practice and this becomes highly problematic if it ends up that neither Armstead nor he can play against New England.
Even though a player not participating at all during practice is a sign that player won’t play in the game, it needs to be noted that Armstead didn’t practice at all in Week 3 and was listed as questionable but did end up starting against the Buffalo Bills.
Howard not practicing Friday after being injured in practice Thursday isn’t a good sign. If he can’t play, this could mean another appearance by 2020 first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene, a regular on the inactive list this season.
Ingold and Chubb both were sporting a cast on their right hand in their first practice of the week after being injured in the 26-20 loss against Green Bay.
Ingold is the only fullback on the active roster, though the Dolphins always could elevate Jake Bargas from the practice squad.
The Dolphins had six other players on the injury report who did not get a game status designation: QB Teddy Bridgewater, S Clayton Fejedelem, CB Kader Kohou, LB Jaelan Phillips, S Eric Rowe and T Brandon Shell.

Also ruled out were former Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (concussion) and TE Jonnu Smith (concussion).
Along with Jonathan Jones and Mills, the list of players listed as questionable included RB Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), TE Hunter Henry (knee) and WR Tyquan Thornton (knee).
