Dolphins inactives: QB John Beck (3rd), WR Brandon London, RB Jalen Parmele, G Shawn Murphy, DE Lionel Dotson, T Nate Garner, T Kirk Barton, DE Rodrique Wright.

Analysis: No significant inactives.

We’ve just found out that Darren McFadden will be active and start against Buffalo. Justin Fargas is inactive, so Michael Bush will be second on the depth chart. He should see his share of the carries, especially with McFadden a little dinged. Overall, it looks like it’s safe to start the rookie this week.

The Patriots were missing RBs Laurence Maroney (shoulder) and LaMont Jordan (foot) from Thursday’s practice. Both players missed practice for the second straight day.

Patriots RB Laurence Maroney sustained a shoulder injury in the first half against the New York Jets and is questionable to return in the second half.

Laurence Maroney has left today’s game against the Jets with an injured shoulder. We’re hearing that he’s questionable to return. Look for Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan to see the bulk of the carries while he’s out.
