Miami enters this game averaging 131.5 rushing yards, seventh in the league. Ollie Gordon II ran for 103 yards against New York. Willis added 37 rushing yards while throwing for 208 yards and two touchdowns. Caleb Douglas caught both scoring passes, and Greg Dulcich had 86 receiving yards. Those players remain prominent on the current offensive depth chart.
The offensive line changes today because Kadyn Proctor is out with a concussion. Jarrett Kingston is the expected replacement at left guard. Miami also claimed Christian Haynes from Seattle and Jamree Kromah from Chicago during the week. Rob Beal Jr. was waived when Kromah arrived.
Willis has no game designation after full practice despite a groin issue. JuJu Brents and Reese Taylor remain questionable, leaving uncertainty at cornerback. De’Von Achane remains on injured reserve. Miami now hosts a 4-3 New England team without A.J. Brown or TreVeyon Henderson. Carlton Davis III and Christian Elliss are questionable.
