Dolphins at Jaguars inactive players list

he NFL allows every team to maintain a 53-man roster during the regular season, but only allows 46 players to dress for each game. That means, about an hour-and-a-half before kickoff, teams declare seven players as "inactive" players for the game. Both the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars, who kickoff against each other at 4:05pm ET today, have releases their respective inactives lists.

For Miami, the inactive players are cornerback Will Davis, defensive tackle A.J. Francis, wide receiver Matt Hazel, tackle Jeff Linkenbach, defensive back Tony Lippett, tight end Dion Sims, and guard Billy Turner. Sims, who is considered a co-starter at tight end for Miami, has no cleared the league's concussion protocol after sustaining the injury last week against the Washington Redskins.

The list means several key players who have been on the injury report this week will be active. They include All Pro defensive end Cameron Wake, safety Reshad Jones, and reserve defensive end Derrick Shelby.

The Jaguars' list includes several starters or key contributors. The full list has defensive end Andre Branch, safety Johnathan Cyprien, running back Toby Gerhart, cornerback Dwayne Gratz, tackle Luke Joeckel, defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks, and rtight end Julius Thomas all inactive.
