The Miami Dolphins are closing in on kickoff against the Atlanta Falcons for the fifth game of the season for both clubs. According to NFL rules, teams may only have 46 players active on game day, making teams have to declare up to seven players as “inactive” for the contest, with that announcement coming around 90 minutes before the start of the game.
For the Dolphins, the headline is wide receiver DeVante Parker being declared inactive. Parker injured his ankle last week against the Tennessee Titans, missing most of the game because of the injury.
