Patriots vs. Dolphins injury analysis: Week 5 sees no major issues, for once

With several core players unavailable, the New England Patriots were teetering entering Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. They ended up losing with a final score of 15-10 to drop a league-leading fourth straight contest, but they did receive some good news for a change: they did not appear to be suffering any big new injuries.

With that said, let’s take a look at the damage after re-watching the contest.
