Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 15
The New York Jets will head to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday to battle divisional foes the Miami Dolphins.
The Jets are focused on building for the future and will want to get through this tumultuous season as quickly as possible. They are 3-10 and are in line to pick third in the 2022 NFL draft. But they would want to finish the season with a few wins under their belt.
The Dolphins are currently on the outside looking in in the playoff picture and need to win all their remaining games to stand a chance of making it to the postseason. The Jets are an easy matchup on paper, but the Dolphins have shown they are capable of a stinker, something they can no longer afford.
Ahead of this key AFC East matchup, check out the injury report and starting lineup for the Dolphins and Jets:
