The Indianapolis Colts host the Miami Dolphins Sunday at 1:00 PM ET at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

This game could best be described as a ‘must win’ for both the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins. Both squads are 5-5, with playoff aspirations hanging on this one game. A win could turn the tide for their season, and a loss could slam the door on any postseason hopes.

Here is how both teams come into this game (as of noon Sunday):

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins have indicated that quarterback Ryan Tannehill WILL play after missing the last five games with a capsule injury to his throwing shoulder, although it is noted that he is not 100% healthy. Brock Osweiler had played in Tannehill’s absence.

Wide receiver Jakeem Grant will NOT play Sunday for Miami, as he is expected to miss the remainder of the season with an achilles injury. Grant remains on the 53-man roster, however.

Running back Kenyan Drake was limited all week in practice with a shoulder injury, but he WILL play against the Indianapolis Colts, and will receive his normal workload at the tailback position. Frank Gore will still get some carries for Miami.

Wide receivers Danny Amendola and DeVante Parker are both still listed as game-time decisions, but Colts fans should expect both to play. Amendola has been dealing with a hamstring issue and Parker is dealing with a shoulder ailment.

Indianapolis Colts

Starting center Ryan Kelly suffered a knee injury last week against Tennessee, and will NOT play, as was expected all week. Evan Boehm will start in Kelly’s place.

Three back up tight ends, Mo Alei-Cox, Ryan Hewitt and Erik Swoope are all OUT for Sunday’s game, leaving all the reps to Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron.

Safety Malik Hooker WILL play, after missing last week’s game with a hip injury.

Defensive lineman Margus Hunt and cornerback Kenny Moore WILL play on Sunday after being removed from the injury report.
