The Miami Dolphins are largely in good health as they gear up for a key home game on Sunday against the New England Patriots as they continue to work to climb back into the playoff race. 

The Dolphins have a laundry list of players on the report, but all bit five have been cleared to play on Sunday and only one has been ruled out. 

CB Kendall Fuller, who suffered a concussion against the Los Angeles Rams, continues to work through protocol and hasn't been cleared, thus ruling him out for Sunday.  However, a huge number of starters and key contributors managed to avoid a game status designation for Sunday, including Tyreek Hill – who downgraded from full to limited practice on Friday – Aaron Brewer, Jordyn Brooks, Jevon Holland, Jalen Ramsey, Julian Hill, Raheem Mostert, and Jordan Poyer. 

On the other side of the coin, the Patriots saw a major name pop up on the injury report with a new ailment. CB Christian Gonzalez appeared on the report as limited with a hip injury.  That will certainly be something to monitor on Sunday when the list of inactives is released an hour and a half before kickoff.  

The Dolphins and Patriots get underway on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
