The Miami Dolphins have been chomped on by the injury bug as badly as any team in the NFL this season.
It looks like Miami FINALLY might be getting a reprieve on the injury front before their most important game of the season.
The final injury report was released on Friday, and the vast majority of Miami's players were able to avoid an injury designation for Sunday night's tilt with Buffalo.
The only players out are the ones expected – Xavien Howard and obviously Bradley Chubb. Jerome Baker, Raheem Mostert, and Jaylen Waddle are all questionable. Incredibly, everyone else is a go. That includes offensive lineman Robert Hunt, who hasn't played since Miami's 45-15 win against Washington on December 3 after aggravating a hamstring injury.
The question now turns to the three players listed as questionable. The biggest question mark is Waddle, who is incredibly trying to play just two weeks after suffering what the team advised was a high ankle sprain. Mike McDaniel mentioned that Waddle is a particularly tough player, and the fact he's this close so quickly to potentially playing is proof of that.
Baker is also one to keep an eye on. Vic Fangio mentioned the need to evaluate him on Thursday to get an idea if he'll play. With limited performances all week and a game status designation, it appears that fans will have to wait until the inactives are released at 6:50 pm ET to know if the Dolphins will have their starting linebacker on the field. Mostert missed the Dolphins' loss to Baltimore, so hopefully that time off helped him with his recovery process.
The Dolphins and Bills kick off on Sunday night at 8:20 pm ET from Hard Rock Stadium.
