Skowronek (hand) was not given an injury designation for Monday's clash against Miami.

Skowronek didn't practice Wednesday due to the hand issue, but he was able to finish the week with consecutive limited sessions. Those will be enough for the veteran wideout to take the field against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Skowronek has seen most of his work on special teams of late, as he has logged just 13 offensive snaps as opposed to 29 special-teams snaps over the past two weeks.

Robinson (oblique) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Robinson has been dealing with an oblique issue that resulted in him recording consecutive limited practices to begin this week. However, with a full session under his belt Saturday, the second-year pro is good to go for Monday's contest. Robinson has been on a roll of late, posting 2.5 sacks over his past two games after notching just 1.0 sacks across his first 10 contests of the campaign.

Melifonwu (thumb/groin) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 clash against the Steelers, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

A pair of injuries held Melifonwu to consecutive limited practices to begin the week, but he was able to record a full session Saturday. As such, the defensive back is good to go for Monday Night Football. Melifonwu has often worked in a rotational role in the Dolphins' secondary but has logged a snap count above 50 percent in each of the team's past four games.

Jones (knee) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Jones was limited in practice Friday due to a knee issue but was able to log a full session Saturday. That sets him up to take the field against the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Jones has worked as one of Miami's starting cornerbacks in every game so far this season.

Douglas (foot) does not have an injury designation for Monday's battle against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Douglas upgraded to a full practice Saturday after being limited the first two sessions this week. As such, he is clear of an injury designation and will take the field on Monday Night Football. Douglas should serve in his usual role as Miami's starting slot cornerback.

Washington (concussion) logged a limited practice session Saturday and is questionable for Monday's Week 15 tilt against the Dolphins.

Washington entered concussion protocol during last Sunday's win over Baltimore. He's been able to log three limited practices this week, but he remains iffy to suit up Monday. Washington will need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol ahead of that contest in order to be eligible to play. If he can't do so, Pat Freiermuth will likely see increased offensive snaps as the Steelers' top tight end.

Achane (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Miami coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Saturday that he expected Achane to play Monday, and the star running back's lack of an injury designation on the team's final practice report makes that expectation a reality. In fact, Achane was able to practice in full Saturday after being limited the previous two days, so he may not have any restrictions (aside from possibly wearing some extra padding to protect his ribs). Achane could be primed for a big game against a Steelers defense that has given up the ninth-most rushing yards to running backs through 13 games this season and will be without star player T.J. Watt (lung).

Austin (calf) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Miami.

Austin was added to the injury report Friday, when he logged a limited practice session due to a calf issue. However, he was able to return to full participation Saturday and is clear to play on Monday Night Football. Austin has seen his offensive snap count trending down in recent weeks -- he hasn't been above 50 percent since Week 10 against the Chargers -- but he still figures to have a tangible role in the passing game while also working as Pittsburgh's primary punt returner.

Bryant (neck) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Bryant has been sidelined since Week 11 but looks on track to play Sunday following a minimum-length stay on IR. The tight end appeared in eight games prior to landing on IR, recording two catches for seven yards on six targets.

Holiday was cut from Seattle's practice squad Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Holiday has spent the season on both the Chiefs' and Seahawks' practice squads. He has yet to appear in a game.
