Chris Mortensen has broken news via his twitter account "MortReport" that Brandon Marshall is out for this sunday's matchup versus the Raiders.
John Clayton posted an article on ESPN.com that chronicles Marshall's week long battle with a nagging hamstring injury that is hampering his return to full speed:
Brandon Marshall misses practice again:
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall didn't practice again Friday due to a hamstring injury. It's unlikely he'll travel with the team to Oakland for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Marshall, the team leader in receptions (58) and yards (693), hasn't practiced all week because of the injury sustained last week against the Chicago Bears.
In another decision critical to the offense, coach Tony Sparano still hasn't chosen a starter at quarterback. Chad Henne is recovering from a knee injury sustained two weeks ago against the Tennessee Titans. Tyler Thigpen, the third-team quarterback two weeks ago, started in last week's 16-0 loss to Chicago and had an uninspiring performance that included two interceptions.
Miami made a roster move Friday, signing defensive lineman Chris Baker and waiving DL Clifton Geathers.
Center Joe Berger (knee), tackle Vernon Carey (knee) and tackle Jake Long (shouler) worked with the first team in practice Friday and are expected to play. Carey, Berger, linebacker Karlos Dansby (toe) and wide receiver Roberto Wallace (knee) are questionable.
