Dolphins-Patriots live blog: start your gameday here
The Miami Dolphins will look to end their three-game losing streak against a familiar foe: the New England Patriots. Sunday’s division matchup doesn’t kickoff until 1 p.m. but in the meantime, enjoy these live updates.
Safety Jordan Poyer and running back Jeff Wilson highlight Sunday’s inactive list. Other inactive players include quarterback Skylar Thompson, cornerback Ethan Bonner, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer as well as linebackers Channing Tindall and Mohamed Kamara.
With Poyer out, veteran safety Marcus Maye will start while Nik Needham, who was called up from the practice squad on Saturday, could provide additional support. Kamara’s inactive status is a bit surprising considering the loss of star edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, who suffered a season-ending partial ACL tear in Monday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
The Dolphins will also welcome back running back Raheem Mostert, left tackle Terron Armstead, cornerback Kendall Fuller and receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who will make his season debut against the Patriots.
