"MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins won't have cornerback Rasul Douglas, tight end Julian Hill and safety Ashtyn Davis in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Douglas, Hill and Davis were announced as inactive players 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium. Douglas was doubtful to play with foot and ankle injuries. Hill (ankle) and Davis (quadriceps) were questionable to play."
"In Douglas, the Dolphins will be down a reliable starting cornerback. Jack Jones should start on one side and either Ethan Bonner or rookie Jason Marshall Jr., who has primarily covered the slot in the nickel for the team, are candidates to start on Douglas' side. Miami already had outside linebacker Chop Robinson ruled out Saturday as he recovers from a concussion, for another big hole on the defense after Jaelan Phillips was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles."
"Without Hill, who missed a third consecutive game, the Dolphins have two active tight ends, Greg Dulcich and Hayden Rucci, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday. While the Dolphins have two active tight ends, they can also use backup offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill there in jumbo packages. Miami is able to withstand the absence of Davis with rookie Dante Trader able to play safety, along with Melifonwu and special teams ace Elijah Campbell,"
Rasul Douglas, Julian Hill and Ashtyn Davis are inactive for Sunday's Dolphins-Bills game, with Douglas dealing with foot and ankle injuries and Hill (ankle) and Davis (quadriceps) previously listed as questionable. Jack Jones projects to start at one cornerback spot, while Ethan Bonner or rookie Jason Marshall Jr. are candidates to fill Douglas' side. Outside linebacker Chop Robinson is ruled out with a concussion after Jaelan Phillips was traded, creating defensive gaps. Greg Dulcich and Hayden Rucci are the active tight ends, with Daniel Brunskill usable in jumbo packages. Jaylen Wright is active as a third running back. Healthy inactives include Andre Carter and emergency quarterback Quinn Ewers. The Bills had wide receiver Joshua Palmer and cornerbacks Taron Johnson and Christian Benford ruled out.
