35 Walt Aikens DB

Aikens (hand) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Buffalo, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Aikens sustained the hand injury Week 16 against the Jaguars, but was able to practice fully Friday to help avoid the questionable tag. The 27-year-old has played a handful of defensive snaps in each of the last three games and should see a similar workload in the season finale.

Aikens is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a hand injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Aikens left the field during the second half. As long as the fifth-year cornerback remains sidelined, expect Maurice Smith to benefit from an uptick in snaps.

Aikens will sign a two-year extension with the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Aikens provides the Dolphins with some veteran depth in the secondary as he has spent his entire four-year career in Miami. In 16 games last season, Aikens recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble.
