Injury roundup: Jay Ajayi clears concussion protocol

Jay Ajayi made it through concussion protocol.

Coach Adam Gase told reporters Tuesday that the Miami Dolphins' running back has been cleared.

Ajayi was expected to be cleared after participating in Monday's practice. The 24-year-old back needed to leap one final hurdle to get off the list officially.

Ajayi suffered a concussion two weeks ago. The Dolphins likely will take it easy on their bruising workhorse. We don't expect to see him much this preseason. Miami's offense plans to be run-heavy in 2017, and the Dolphins need Ajayi as healthy and as fresh as possible to execute that strategy.

Here is a rundown of other injuries we are monitoring Tuesday:

  1. Buffalo Bills left tackle Cordy Glenn got an injection in his foot, which the team hopes fixes the nagging issue, Rapoport reported. Glenn has sat out practices this summer due to the issue.
  1. Packers running back Ty Montgomery sat out practice with a leg injury, ESPN reported.
  1. Baltimore Ravens rookie cornerback Marlon Humphrey is set to make his debut this week against the Dolphins, the team announced. Humphrey was previously sidelined with an undisclosed injury.

Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman is recovering from a pulled hamstring. Coach John Harbaugh said Perriman is "on schedule" and did not rule him out for preseason. Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley missed his third consecutive practice session with an undisclosed injury. Harbaugh said Stanley has something "he's working through" but it isn't expected to keep him out for an extended period.

  1. San Francisco 49ers defensive end Aaron Lynch (ankle) won't practice Tuesday, Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group reported.
