The New England Patriots meet the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. Listen to the free radio stream online as the Patriots and Dolphins meet for this AFVC East divisional rival. Kick off is at 1 p.m. ET. Here is a look at those players expected to start and those who will be out.
The Dolphins are not the same laughable squad from years before, but they are struggling as of late. With a victory today, the Dolphins could place themselves just half a game behind the Patriots in the AFC East standings. The New York Jets are in second place, while the Dolphins are right behind them holding on to the third spot in the standings.
Lucky for them, they will be healthy in this game. Players in their injury report only surface as "Probable." So expect all the Dolphin players to be on the field. With a full squad, the Dolphins are an average team at best. However, they are a resilient bunch and they are not intimidated by any opponent. The good news for their quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, is that Aqib Talib will not be suiting up in this game. The bad news for the Dolphins defense is that Danny Amendola will be active.

The list is extensive, but the Patriots are still a dangerous bunch. Suddenly, with the return of Rob Gronkowski and Amendola, Brady has targets. Julian Edelman has been consistent when out on the field and the rookie, Kenbrell Thompkins is quickly coming of age.
