The Miami Dolphins are a little less than an hour from kickoff, and we now know which Dolphins on the 53-man roster will not be suiting up for today’s game. The Dolphins shared the inactives list approximately 90 minutes before kickoff in Week 9.

The inactive list is short this week for Miami, who has a few active roster spots open but does not have them filled. As a result, only a handful of Dolphins players will not suit up. With the return of Austin Jackson, 6th offensive lineman Adam Pankey will be regulated to the sideline. Additionally, the absence of running back Matt Breida was already expected before today’s inactives were revealed — he’s been battling a hamstring issue all week long and Dolphins head coach Brian Flores made it clear that the expectation was that Breida would not be available for Miami.
The Dolphins are looking to move to 5-3 on the season and although they will certainly miss RB Myles Gaskin (on injured reserve with a knee injury) and Breida, but expect more of a role for young quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as the Dolphins look to keep pace with a high-scoring Cardinals offense.
Miami kicks off against Arizona at 4:25 PM EST from State Farm Stadium in Glendale and we now know which Dolphins will be available for Miami to use as they look to execute the game plan.
