The injury situation looked dreadful for the Dolphins on Sunday, but they're in decent shape with two big exceptions. No. 3 QB Tyler Thigpen will get the start since Pennington and Henne are injured. While he did start some games for the Chiefs in 2008, that was a couple years ago. And LT Jake Long has a shoulder injury but could play through it. Their backup plan isn't any good according to the Phinsider, but the Dolphins do play a lot of max protection.
While the Bears come into this game with only one starter out, the short week will be tough on both teams.
The Dolphins are favored by 1.5 which is a sign the odds makers don't know what to think of this game.
