Patriots' Dion Lewis will play vs. Dolphins on 'TNF'

Asked on Wednesday about the status of Patriots running back Dion Lewis, tight-lipped coach Bill Belichick told reporters: "We'll see tomorrow."

It's tomorrow, and we have our answer. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Lewis will play in Thursday night's showdown with the suddenly frisky Miami Dolphins after missing Week 7 with an abdominal injury, per a source informed of the injury.

The Patriots missed Lewis against the Jets on Sunday. We expect the fleet-footed pass-catching back to see plenty of time against the 'Fins.
