The Miami Dolphins face the New England Patriots in a Week 1 contest later today, kicking off the 2021 NFL regular season. The Dolphins opened the 2020 season at the Patriots, then will do the same to start this season as well. The two teams will also close the 2021 season with a matchup, meaning they will not face each other again for 17 weeks.
With today’s game starting the season, this game will likely see both teams the healthiest they will be all season. That does not mean the teams are perfectly healthy, with former Dolphins turned Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Perry ruled out for the game, while Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams and left tackle Austin Jackson questionable for this afternoon. Jackson is returning to the active roster after having tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week; Jackson is vaccinated from the virus and has tested negative twice this week allowing him to be activated, but after a week of not practicing, the Dolphins could still elect to have him sit out the game.
