The Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins are about 90 minutes from kickoff, which means that each team has set its respective inactive list. Buffalo had declared two players out already, while Miami had also ruled out two players. Both teams listed four players as questionable, as well, while Miami added another player with a doubtful designation.<\/p>\n
Extensive injury lists are common at the season\u2019s midpoint, but both teams in today\u2019s contest are battered and bruised. Buffalo made two practice squad call-ups, as well, so they need seven inactive players. Who are those players? The full list is below.
_____________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n
We\u2019re still at least one week away from Palmer returning, and while he was able to practice all week, the Bills ultimately ruled him out today. It\u2019ll be Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Elijah Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Tyrell Shavers active at receiver today.<\/p>\n
Another week, another healthy scratch for the rookie.<\/p>\n
Thanks to a concussion, Epenesa will miss the game. Combined with Michael Hoecht\u2019s Achilles tendon tear, it means that rookie Landon Jackson is active as Buffalo\u2019s fourth edge rusher. Joey Bosa, Greg Rousseau, and Javon Solomon are the others.<\/p>\n
The veteran is out once again thanks to a hamstring issue. The good news is that Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard are fully healthy, and along with Dorian Williams and Joe Andreessen, that means Buffalo has most of its regular linebacker group available. Old friend Baylon Spector is active, as well, as he was elevated from the practice squad.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a bit since Buffalo\u2019s return specialist has been active, as the team has gone with Ray Davis, Curtis Samuel, and Ty Johnson to handle kick return duties, with Khalil Shakir on punt returns. Codrington\u2019s niche role, while important, can be filled by multiple other people who have more versatile uses.<\/p>\n
Buffalo\u2019s top nickel corner seemed to be trending in the right direction after missing last week\u2019s game with a groin injury. However, he\u2019s out once again, which means that Cam Lewis is likely to see starter\u2019s snaps at slot corner.<\/p>\n
This is a lot of turnover in the defensive secondary, but after Benford appeared on the injury list this week with a groin injury of his own, it\u2019s not surprising that he\u2019s out today. Dane Jackson was elevated from the practice squad, but I assume that the Bills will go with Maxwell Hairston and a combination of Tre\u2019Davious White or Ja\u2019Marcus Ingram before Jackson sees snaps on defense.<\/p>\n
