Tyreek Hill, a wide receiver for the Dolphins, missed practise on Wednesday due to a hip issue.
He returned to the field on Thursday and confirmed that he will play in the Patriots game on Sunday.
For Thursday's practise, he was officially designated as a limited participant.
Although Hill had previously been granted veteran rest days, it was made apparent by the team's injury report on Wednesday that his absence was due to an ailment.
Though he's "good," the NFL's leading receiver in receiving touchdowns and receiving yards told reporters on Thursday.
"I just wanted some attention, because my momma wouldn't talk to me yesterday," Hill stated.
"Well, I needed someone to give me some attention. I am fine, though.
Also, sources tell that the Dolphins want for CB Jalen Ramsey to return on Sunday following his summertime knee injury.
After undergoing knee surgery in July, Ramsey is anticipated to return to the field almost three months to the day after being limited in practise on Wednesday.
