In what could be a game of big plays, the Miami Dolphins will have the biggest playmaker in the NFL back in their huddle on Sunday.
The inactives were released by the teams ahead of kickoff, and WR Tyreek Hill is active for the contest.
Hill missed the Dolphins' 30-0 win over the New York Jets last week after suffering an ankle injury on a tackle in Miami's 28-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. He worked out before the Jets game and tested his ankle, but it was ultimately decided that it was in the best interests of both him and the team to give him one more week to recover.
Fortunately for the Dolphins, they didn't need him. Jaylen Waddle rolled up 142 receiving yards on 8 catches with a touchdown as the focal point of the Dolphins' offense.
Now, with Hill and Waddle back on the field together, the Cowboys will have their hands full attempting to slow down Miami's electric passing attack. Given the Cowboys' struggles to slow down Buffalo's running game last week – the Bills rolled up 266 yards on the ground – Dallas could have its hands full on two fronts trying to stop Miami's dynamic offense, which has seen RB Raheem Mostert shatter the franchise record for touchdowns in a season.
The Dolphins and Cowboys will kick off at 4:25 pm ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
