Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins will miss three defensive starters when they face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8 but will have all their offensive players.

As reported late Saturday night, WR Tyreek Hill will be active despite sustaining a foot injury in practice Thursday.

The Dolphins' list of inactive players included DT Zach Sieler (eye), CB Kader Kohou (neck), and CB Storm Duck (ankle. All will miss the game with injuries.

As expected, S Jevon Holland and LB Emmanuel Ogbah are back in the lineup, with rookie fifth-round pick Mohamed Kamara returning on the inactive list after making his NFL debut against the Indianapolis Colts last week when Ogbah sat out.

CB Cam Smith, the team's top pick in the 2023 NFL draft, is active and in line to make his season debut. He'll be one of five active cornerbacks, along with Jalen Ramsey, Kendall Fuller, Ethan Bonner, and Siran Neal.

RB Jeff Wilson, Jr. is again on the inactive list, and TE Tanner Conner will be inactive for the first time this season.

The final name on the inactive list is rookie OL Andrew Meyer, who has yet to dress on game day. The Dolphins don't have an emergency third quarterback for this game because Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson are the only two QBs on the active roster.

As a reminder, the team elevated LS Matt Overton and DT Neil Farrell from the practice squad on Saturday.

ARIZONA CARDINALS INACTIVE INFO

The Cardinals' inactive list is headed by starting CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck) and DL Roy Lopez (ankle), who was ruled out Friday because of injuries.

CB Kei'Trel Clark, OL Christian Jones, TE Travis Vokolek, and WR Xavier Weaver will also be inactive.

The Cardinals' practice squad elevations include DT Ben Stille, who played one game for the Dolphins in the 2022 season, and CB Divaad Wilson.
