Pregame Notes | Dolphins at Bills

BUF_PregameNotes2
  • The Dolphins will have the exact same lineup as last week when they face the Buffalo Bills in their season finale Sunday.
  • That means rookie first-round pick **Minkah Fitzpatrick** again will start at safety in place of veteran T.J. McDonald and second-year player **Torry McTyer** again will start at cornerback in place of Pro Bowl selection **Xavien Howard**.
  • It will be the fourth consecutive game Howard will miss and he will finish the season with seven interceptions. Heading into the final week of the NFL season, he is tied for first in the league with Chicago Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller.
  • McDonald will miss a second consecutive game because of an ankle injury.
  • Linebacker **Kiko Alonso** will be active for a second consecutive game despite being listed as questionable because of knee/hamstring injuries.
  • He did not play against the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday, though Head Coach Adam Gase said Alonso felt better this week.
