Patriots Week 8 inactives: JuJu Smith-Schuster IN, Josh Uche OUT vs Dolphins

Who’s in and who’s out for the Patriots and Dolphins on Sunday?

The New England Patriots are much healthier heading into Sunday’s Week 8 clash with the Miami Dolphins.

They have officially listed both wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and defensive end Keion White as active for the game, after both missed last week with a concussion.

There was no quarterback controversy this week with Malik Cunningham returning to the practice squad, Will Grier being inactive and Bailey Zappe serving as the top backup option behind Mac Jones. Meanwhile, the Patriots caught a big break with the Dolphins ruling out four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard the same week the team activated Jalen Ramsey.

That’s one less ball-hawk in the defensive backfield that Jones and company has to worry about. Dolphins safety Jevon Holland will also be inactive for this matchup. Here’s the full list of inactives for Sunday’s game:

The Patriots are 0-5 against the Dolphins with Tua Tagovailoa in at quarterback. They managed to break a four-game losing streak to the division rival Buffalo Bills last week.

We’ll see if they can keep the upset train rolling on the road against the Dolphins in Week 8.
