Dolphins left tackle Jake Long suffered a torn right biceps during Saturday's game, ESPN first reported Sunday morning. For Long, that likely will end a season that took a toll on him physically.

Long missed preseason with a knee injury --- after an offseason in which he underwent shoulder surgery. He missed the first regular season game of his career, Dec. 18 against Buffalo, because of a back injury. He returned to the lineup for the Patriots game, but was injured late in the first quarter.

John Jerry likely would continue to fill in for Long at left tackle. He gave up a sack during Saturday's game but also has had some solid moments filling in for Long.

The status of several players is uncertain heading into next Sunday's finale against the Jets at Sun Life Stadium. Vontae Davis (elbow) and Daniel Thomas (knee) left Saturday's game and did not return, though both said they did not believe their injuries were serious. Linebacker Koa Misi was placed on injured reserve last week. And tight end Anthony Fasano missed Saturday's game because of the effects of a mild concussion.

The NFL decided to leave the Jets-Dolphins game at 1 p.m. Several other games were moved to 4:15 p.m. on Jan. 1, and Giants-Cowboys was moved to 8:15 p.m. on NBC. The Jets can make the playoffs only with a win Sunday and losses by the Bengals and Titans and a loss by the Broncos or Raiders.
