LB Dre Greenlaw made an impressive return last week in his first game since tearing his Achilles tendon in last season’s Super Bowl. He had eight tackles in the first half and added needed energy and physical play to San Francisco’s defense. Greenlaw sat most of the second half with soreness but appears ready to play a full game Sunday.
Tua Tagovailoa will be looking to bounce back from one of his worst games of the season last week against Houston. Tagovailoa had four turnovers — a fumble and three interceptions — and had his second-worst passer rating (60.0) this season.
Dolphins offensive line vs. 49ers defensive line. Miami played without its top three tackles last week and struggled in both run blocking and pass protection against Houston's pass rush. If tackles Terron Armstead (knee) and Kendall Lamm (knee) can't play again this week, the Dolphins could be in trouble against a San Francisco defensive line led by Nick Bosa, who has 40 tackles and seven sacks this season.
San Francisco LT Trent Williams (ankle) will miss his fifth straight game. ... RB Isaac Guerendo is also out after being slowed by a hamstring injury early in the week. ... DE Nick Bosa (oblique) is questionable. ... Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a hip injury, but he practiced fully on Friday and coach Mike McDaniel said it was nothing to worry about. ... WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is doubtful. ... WR Tyreek Hill (wrist), LT Terron Armstead (knee), LB Bradley Chubb (knee), and T Kendall Lamm (back) are questionable. ... WR Grant DuBose was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after a hit to the head vs. Houston that hospitalized him.
This is the 15th meeting between the two teams, and the home team has won four of the past five. ... It will be the second time Mike McDaniel has faced his former team as the Dolphins head coach. Before he was hired by Miami ahead of the 2022 season, McDaniel was the 49ers run game specialist (2017-18), run game coordinator (2019-20) and offensive coordinator (2021). ... San Francisco has not visited Miami since 2016.
The 49ers have lost four of five games and will have their first losing season since 2020 with one more loss. … San Francisco’s 191 yards last week were the fewest for the team in a regular-season game in eight seasons under coach Kyle Shanahan and the six points were the fewest since Shanahan’s first game in 2017. … Shanahan’s 78 losses in the regular season and playoffs are tied with Bill Walsh for the most in 49ers history. … San Francisco failed to reach the red zone or score a TD in a game last week for the first since Oct. 14, 2012. … The 49ers have punted on only 28.1% of drives for the third-lowest rate in the NFL. … The Niners have allowed an NFL-low 33 plays of at least 20 yards from scrimmage. … San Francisco’s Deebo Samuel is the first WR since 2019 to have five straight games with at least three targets and fewer than 25 yards receiving. … Niners LB Fred Warner is one of five players with at least 100 tackles in each of the past seven seasons. … Guerendo has 203 yards from scrimmage the past two weeks. ... Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill needs two touchdowns in the remaining three games to reach seven this season and become the first receiver and fifth player in NFL history to have at least seven scrimmage touchdowns in each of their first nine seasons, joining RBs Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk, LaDanian Tomlinson and Ricky Watters. He also needs 56 receiving yards to reach 11,000 in his career. ... QB Tua Tagovailoa had just his second multiple-interception game of the season on Sunday with three interceptions and one lost fumble on Sunday. Tagovailoa also threw three interceptions in Week 2 against Buffalo. ... Tagovailoa completed 18 of 33 passes for 295 yards with two interceptions the previous time Miami faced San Francisco. ... The Dolphins are 9 of 36 on third downs in their past three games. ... Miami has gone from one of the top rushing offenses in the NFL last season — averaging a league-best 5.1 yards per carry — to averaging just 3.9 yards per carry, which is the second-worst mark in the league.
TE Jonnu Smith has 18 catches for 232 yards and four touchdowns in his past three home games.

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (AP) — Two decades after a catastrophic tsunami destroyed her village, Tria Asnani still cries when she recalls how she lost her mother while trying to escape the giant waves.
Asnani, now a school teacher, was only 17 at the time. Her father, who was a fisherman, never returned home from sea. She doesn't know how she survived. “I cannot swim. I could only rely on dhikr (Islamic prayer).”
On Dec. 26, 2004, a powerful 9.1-magnitude earthquake off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered a tsunami that killed around 230,000 people across a dozen countries, reaching as far as East Africa.
But Indonesia’s Aceh province, located closest to the earthquake’s epicenter and with 18 of 23 districts and cities located in the coastal line in the Northern side of Sumatra, bore the brunt of the disaster with more than half of the total death toll reported.
The worst-hit areas were in Aceh Besar and Banda Aceh, according to the Aceh Disaster Management Agency.
Asnani's Lampuuk village lies in a fishermen’s community in Aceh Besar, known for its white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. However, on that day, it was among the hardest hit, with waves more than 30 meters (98 feet) high which changed the coastline in Aceh and led to land subsidence after the earthquake.
Buildings by the coast were flattened to the ground except for Rahmatullah Mosque, 500 meters (1,600 feet) from the shore, and about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) from Asnani’s house. The photo of the place of worship, left pretty much unscathed, later became iconic.
After the disastrous event, thousands, including Asnani, had to relocate to start afresh. She moved with her uncle to another region in Aceh to continue her studies. After she got married, she returned in 2007 to her parents' house which was rebuilt with assistance from the Turkish government and lived there for 10 years.
Many international donors and organizations poured in money to help rebuild the affected areas that lost schools, hospitals and basic infrastructure, made stronger than before the tsunami hit.
Tsunami and Disaster Mitigation Research Center at Syiah Kuala University in Aceh recorded more than 1,400 wrecked schools and about 150,000 students had their education process disrupted by the destructive waves in a report published in 2019.
Three “escape buildings” were also constructed in a relatively safer area to accommodate thousands of people if an earthquake and tsunami strike.
Across the province, memories of the tsunami can be felt almost everywhere.
The Aceh Tsunami Museum in Banda Aceh houses photos of the aftermath and vehicle debris, serving as a constant reminder of what was lost that day. Local authorities have also turned a former floating diesel-powered power plant barge that washed about 6 kilometers (about 4 miles) inland by the tsunami into another memorial place.
Both places have become the most popular tourist destinations in the area.
But development never stops and 20 years after the tsunami the Aceh coast is brimming with residential housing, cafes and restaurants, as well as tourism support facilities, while the hills in some areas from which people are currently being mined for sand and stone.
Fazli, the head of Preparedness in Aceh Disaster Management Agency, said that the government initially stipulated that there should be no activity up to 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) from the coast. Over time, many displaced fishermen returned to their original coastal homes, drawn by their livelihoods and ties to the sea, despite having received housing elsewhere.
He also said the agency has “provided the Acehnese people with information ” to deal with a potential tsunami. "People already know what to do,” said Fazli, who, like other Indonesians, uses a single name.
Siti Ikramatoun, a sociologist in Banda Aceh, said that despite years of recovery and rebuilding, the people of Aceh must stay vigilant.
“If people experienced (the tsunami), they may have an instinct to anticipate it. But those who do not have the experience, they won’t get what to do,” Ikramatoun said.
Various communities in Aceh commemorate the tsunami yearly along with the government and local authorities.
In Banda Aceh, art communities in early December spread disaster awareness through theatrical or musical performances that can be easier for people to follow and target all groups, including those born after the tsunami.
Muslina, 43, a civil servant, took her youngest son to the Aceh Tsunami Museum to watch one of the shows. She lost relatives and loved ones 20 years ago and she wants to make sure she always remembers them.
“Earlier my son asked me if there might be another tsunami when he grows up," she said. “I told him I do not know. Only God knows, but if there is a strong earthquake and the seawater recedes, we run, run, run to find higher ground.”
