Will Injured WRs Tyreek Hill & Jaylen Waddle Play vs. Ravens?

Miami Dolphins at Baltimore: Will Injured WRs Tyreek Hill & Jaylen Waddle Play vs. Ravens?

Mark this one down as yet another "Game of the Year'' candidate, the importance of which suggests that, yes, Miami Dolphins receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will do everything in their power to play Sunday at the Baltimore Ravens.

The winner of this NFL Sunday Week 17 showdown will be taking a monumental stride in the AFC, with a shot at earning the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC playoffs on the line.

The 12-3 Ravens will clinch the top seed if they win. The Dolphins at 11-4 can close that gap.

But if Tyreek and Waddle can't go? The gap between these two clubs might be noticeable on Sunday.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed on Wednesday that Waddle - listed with an awful-sounding "high-ankle sprain'' - might be able to fight through it. Waddle, with 72 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns, is quite a weapon.

And Tyreek? He's an MVP candidate and on another level still, as he's playing through pain as he did last week in a 22-20 thrilling win over the Dallas Cowboys in which he caught nine passes for 99 yards.

Hill is dynamic. Waddle is scary as well. They might not do anything over the course of the week ... and the Ravens will certainly be monitoring all of that, hoping that if they do play they don't too many "dynamic and scary'' things in the 1 p.m. ET Sunday start.
