Who did you have in mind and what are you willing to give up?
According to the Miami Herald, the Dolphins believe Knowshon Moreno's (elbow) return "isn't too far off."
Moreno is still targeting Week 6, which would be less than a month after he dislocated his elbow. Moreno was given a 4-8 timetable upon going down. - Rotoworld
My guess is that JP will not rush him back given the way our RB's are performing. Could be later IMO.

A dislocated elbow takes a while to heal. If he's not ready in week 6 it won't be a surprise to me. When he does return, let's hope he can resume where he left off--playing with vim and vigor.
I don't want him back that early. Toouch of a risk re injuring it again. Let him heal properly and get him back ready to go. I think week 8 would be a great time for his return.
Yeah, don't rush him back. He should play with vim and vigor because his injury was not due to a hit but was due to him using his hand to break his fall (or even moreso, I think he was trying to use his hand so he could pivot on it and make more yardage) which explains how the injury affected the shoulder instead of the wrist or the elbow.
I certainly would be less comfortable with him coming back too early than I would with him coming back too late. Error on the side of taking too much time.
