The Miami Dolphins' defense managed to get some very good news as kickoff against the Buffalo Bills approaches.

The Dolphins released their list of inactive players for Sunday Night Football, and a couple of very important players are active in Jerome Baker and Jevon Holland.

Both Baker and Holland were officially questionable as Sunday began, but they arrived there on different paths. Baker was listed as questionable on the final practice report on Friday and was activated off of injured reserve on Saturday afternoon.

However, concern was raised with Holland on Saturday, as he was reported by multiple outlets to have been demoted from no injury designation to questionable for Sunday with knee issues. However, it appears he's good enough to have a go at on Sunday night.

In expected news, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Waddle are both out for the Dolphins, a big blow to Miami's offense. De'Von Achane should handle the majority of the carries with Jeff Wilson, Jr. spelling him. Cedric Wilson, Jr. should step into Waddle's role in the offense.

The Bills and Dolphins kick off at 8:20 pm ET from Hard Rock Stadium with the winner claiming the AFC East and #2 seed in the AFC.
