David Butler II-US PRESSWIRE
The lists of inactive players are out for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET contest between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. New England tight end Rob Gronkowski is active after missing the last five weeks with a forearm injury.
The Miami Dolphins head to the cold of New England to take on the Patriots in Week 17 and while the Dolphins have been eliminated from playoff contention and the Patriots have already secured a playoff spot, they have plenty to play for in the final week of the regular season.
Depending on their outcome as well as other games around the league, New England could finish anywhere between the first and fourth seed in the AFC. For explanations of all this week's playoff scenarios, click here.
