Patriots Wire staff picks and scores for Dolphins-Patriots game

The New England Patriots will open up the doors of Gillette Stadium for a head-to-head showdown with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

There are reasons to be concerned for the Patriots, even against a Dolphins team missing its starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.

Not only will the Patriots be entering the game with a banged-up offensive line, but there's a chance they'll also be missing both of their starting safeties, Jabrill Peppers and Kyle Dugger.

Peppers has already been ruled out for the game with a shoulder injury, while Kyle Dugger is listed as questionable on the injury report with an ankle injury.
