Dolphins vs. Patriots: Aqib Talib out for New England

The Patriots will be without their top cornerback against the Dolphins.

The Patriots will welcome back wide receiver Danny Amendola but will be without their top cornerback on Sunday. Aqib Talib is out for the Patriots despite practicing this week with a hip injury. Talib will be joined on the sideline by starting defensive tackle Tommy Kelly. Kick returner/running back Leon Washington is also inactive against the Dolphins.

For Miami, the biggest name on the inactive list is rookie cornerback Jamar Taylor. The rest of the inactives are the usual suspects that include Pat Devlin, Will Davis and Danny Watkins. Former starting right tackle Tyson Clabo will be playing the swing tackle with Will Yeatman out of the game.
