Based on both teams’ injury report and inactives, Sunday’s Miami Dolphins vs. Seattle Seahawks showdown will be a battle of whose backups can play the best.
For the Dolphins, it’ll be Skylar Thompson instead of Tua Tagovailoa, and (likely) Jaylen Wright instead of Raheem Mostert.
But the Seahawks have even more concerns. Their defense could be without their top two linebackers (Uchenna Nwosu and Jerome Baker), and their offense will likely be without running back Kenneth Walker III and offensive tackle George Fant.
Who Are the Inactives for Miami Dolphins vs. Seattle Seahawks?
The Dolphins made a number of roster moves Saturday that will impact Sunday’s game. They placed wide receiver Grant DuBose on injured reserve and signed Tim Boyle off their practice squad.
That foreshadowed Sunday’s news that Boyle will be active Sunday over Snoop Huntley, who signed with the team this week. They also elevated receivers Dee Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma from the practice squad.
