The following players are inactive for the Miami Dolphins’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium:

Dolphins: S Steven Parker, CB Ken Crawley, DT Gerald Willis, C/G Chris Reed, T Isaiah Prince, C/G Keaton Sutherland, LB Trent Harris.

Eagles: QB Nate Sudfeld, CB Sidney Jones, RB Jordan Howard, DE Shareef Miller, C/G Nate Herbig, G/T Matt Pryor, DE Daeshon Hall.

What it means: Miami’s lean defensive backfield gets a little skinnier, as Parker misses Sunday’s game with a groin injury. Who will start in his place? Probably Jomal Wiltz or Adrian Colbert. The news was better at receiver, however, as Allen Hurns and Albert Wilson are both well enough to go. The Dolphins’ two new practice-squad call-ups, Isaiah Ford and Montre Hartage, will both play. Meanwhile, the Dolphins will have to deal with the Eagles’ two-headed tight end monster, as Zach Ertz will play despite missing two days of practice with an ailing hamstring.
