Carlton Davis is back in the lineup for the Patriots as they gear up to face Miami. That’s some welcome news for New England’s secondary, considering the veteran corner has been battling a neck injury that kept him sidelined for the last three games.
Davis Returns, But Other Patriots Are Down
Davis was listed as questionable on Friday, which always makes you sweat, but he avoided that inactive list. Getting him back is a definite boost, especially heading into a divisional matchup. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for the Patriots. Wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back TreVeyon Henderson were both officially ruled out on Saturday. Losing two playmakers like that is a tough pill to swallow for any offense. Beyond those two, cornerback Karon Prunty, safety Elliott Davison, cornerback Channing Canada, and quarterback Behren Morton are also inactive for New England’s contest. Linebacker Christian Elliss, who was also questionable, is in the lineup.
Dolphins Facing Their Own Roster Shuffle
Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins have their own set of players who won’t be suiting up today. Their inactive list includes guard Kadyn Proctor, tight end Justin Joly, cornerback Marcellas Dial, cornerback Jaylin Simpson, guard Christian Haynes, wide receiver Jared Wayne, and defensive end Jamree Kromah. Both teams are clearly dealing with some significant lineup adjustments for this game.
So, while the Patriots get Davis back, they’re still rolling into this game missing some serious firepower, just like their opponents. It’s gonna be a real test of depth for both sides today.
