The Miami Dolphins indeed will be without speedy playmakers Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert for their Week 18 showdown against the Buffalo Bills, but they will have safety Jevon Holland in the secondary.
Holland became a question mark Saturday when he was downgraded from having no game status to being questionable.
Waddle and Mostert both are dealing with lower-leg injuries that forced them to miss the game against the Baltimore Ravens last week.
Cornerback Xavien Howard is the other front-line starter on the 53-man roster who will miss the game because of an injury.
The other inactives will be tackle Kion Smith, tight end Tyler Kroft and cornerback Ethan Bonner, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Linebacker Jerome Baker will be active, as he makes his return to the lineup after missing four games because of a knee injury. Starting right guard Robert Hunt also will be back after missing four games after aggravating a hamstring issue.
With Hunt back, the Dolphins will have every offensive lineman on their active roster available for the Buffalo game.
BILLS INACTIVE INFO
Buffalo had a clean injury report after center Mitch Morse was removed from it, so their inactive list was put together by coach decisions.
The list consists of S Damar Hamlin, CB Kaiir Elam, RB Latavius Murray, LB Kingsley Jonathan, OL Alec Anderson and DT Linval Joseph.
As a reminder, the Bills elevated veteran running back Leonard Fournette from their practice squad Saturday.
The winner of the game Sunday night will take the AFC East title and become the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. If the Dolphins win, they will face the Bills again next weekend in the first round of the playoffs; if they lose, they will play at Kansas City.
