Injury report: Wallace, Pouncey questionable

BY NICK ST. DENIS

We knew defensive tackle Paul Soliai was unlikely to take the field this weekend. We also knew cornerback Dimitri Patterson was likely a no-go, as well.

What we didn't know, however, was that two of the Miami Dolphins' most important offensive players -- receiver Mike Wallace and center Mike Pouncey -- were only 50 percent possibilities for the team's home opener against the Atlanta Falcons.

Both were listed as questionable on Friday's official injury report after being limited in practice. Both also had participated fully all week before Friday. Here's the full slate of injuries for the Dolphins and Falcons:
