The Miami Dolphins will have running back Knowshon Moreno back for the first time since Week 2, but Lamar Miller will start in the backfield against the Green Bay Packers.

Miami Dolphins running back Knowshon Moreno will don a bulky brace on his injured elbow, but he will be active Sunday at Sun Life Stadium against the Green Bay Packers.

Lamar Miller will get the start, however, as the Dolphins return from their bye week after getting back to .500 two weeks ago by rolling the Raiders in London.

Green Bay is also coming off a bit of a break, having beaten Minnesota on Oct. 2 for their second straight win.

Moreno, in his first year with Miami after signing as a free agent last spring, rambled for 134 yards and a touchdown in his Dolphin debut in a Week 1 win over New England, but he injured his elbow on his first carry in a loss at Buffalo the following week.

Miller has been solid, rushing for 108 yards in a loss to the Chiefs in Week 3 and scoring his first two rushing touchdowns in the win over Oakland.

He has 277 yards on 49 carries—a gaudy 5.7 yard per carry average—and also has caught 12 passes for 53 yards and a touchdown.
