Miami Dolphins will not have Xavien Howard against Vikings

With the Miami Dolphins being without Xavien Howard they will once again turn to rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick to start in his place. Fitzpatrick started last weeks game against the Patriots and had a rough start before shutting down the Patriots receivers in the second half.

Today Fitzpatrick and Bobby McCain will have to stop one of the top receiver groups in the NFL that include Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Pressure on quarterback Kirk Cousins will help.

Howard will be joined on the Dolphins inactive list by quarterback David Fales, new addition center/guard Hroniss Grasu, guard Isaac Asiata, tackle Zach Sterup, defensive end Jonathan Woodard, and receiver Isaiah Ford.
