Dolphins’ Brandon Jones to miss second straight game; Jaelan Phillips active vs. Giants

One of the Miami Dolphins that entered Sunday’s game against the New York Giants questionable will play and the other will not.

Dolphins safety Brandon Jones is out for the 1 p.m. kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium. Meanwhile, rookie outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips will be available for Miami.

Jones entered Sunday questionable with ankle and elbow injuries, according to the team’s injury report, but he said this past week it was the elbow ailment that was keeping him off the field. Phillips is playing through a hip injury.

With Jones out, veteran Eric Rowe will once again be counted on to play as the safety alongside rookie starter Jevon Holland against the Giants.

The three Dolphins that entered Sunday doubtful — running back Phillip Lindsay (ankle), tight end Adam Shaheen (knee) and cornerback Trill Williams (hamstring) — all will not play. The other Dolphins inactives are defensive tackle John Jenkins and outside linebacker Darius Hodge.

Miami is getting two offensive starters it had on injured reserve — wide receiver DeVante Parker and center Michael Deiter — back after activating them on Saturday. Receiver Will Fuller is among those that remains on IR.

For the Giants, the two receivers that entered Sunday doubtful, Kadarius Toney and Sterling Shepard, will not play. The four players that were questionable — tackle Nate Solder, tight end Kyle Rudolph, receiver John Ross and fullback Cullen Gillaspia — are all active.

Other Giants inactives were quarterback Daniel Jones, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, guard Wes Martin and outside linebacker Oshane Ximines. Jones and Jackson were already deemed out as of Friday.

This story will be updated.
