The Miami Dolphins are healthier than they have been in a while and have released their week 12 inactives for today’s game against the Colts.

For the Miami Dolphins there are not a lot of surprises heading into today’s contest against the Colts. In fact the list of who is active is more surprising than who is not.

Miami released their inactives a few moments ago.

None of the players that are inactive are surprising. What is surprising is that Jakeem Grant is not on the IR list yet. That is a good thing and maybe he can return later in the season if possible.

The Dolphins will have Charles Harris for the first time in weeks coming off a leg injury. They will also have DeVante Parker active. Parker injured his shoulder during Miami’s last game in Green Bay. The Dolphins who have been getting thin at wide-receiver need him to have a big game.

Ryan Tannehill will lead the Dolphins today against the Colts who are sitting at 5-5 along with the Dolphins. The other two teams that are 5-5, the Ravens and the Bengals are playing in the early games and things are not looking good for the Bengals.

Facing the Browns, the Bengals are down 34-7 while the Ravens are hanging on to a three-point lead at the time of this writing to the Raiders.

If the Dolphins can upset the Colts who entered the contest initially with a 10 point line and both the Ravens and Bengals lose, the Dolphins will have sole possession of the sixth seed in the playoff chase.

Miami face a tough road ahead of them with the Bills twice and the Patriots, Vikings, and Jaguars. The Colts have been one of the hotter teams the last four weeks. The Dolphins will need to get pressure on Luck as often as possible. Having Harris back in the lineup will help with the rotations at defensive end.
