Dolphins vs. Jets injury report and starting lineup - November 21 | NFL Week 11
The two bottom feeders of the AFC East, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, will battle in a Week 11 showdown.
The 3-7 Dolphins will continue their evaluation of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in a game that's very winnable for the Dolphins. After convincingly beating the Baltimore Ravens last week, the Dolphins are riding high.
The Jets, meanwhile, must feel like Mike White's miracle victory two weeks ago was ages ago. White didn't do enough last week to keep the starting job and isn't in place for the injured Zack Wilson this week.
Joe Flacco will get the start instead. It will be Flacco's first start since he started four games in 2020 for the Jets. At this point in the season, the Jets are looking to play hard for Robert Saleh and see who they can build around for 2022.
Although neither team appears bound for the playoffs, this has the making of a competitive game. Both teams have historically played each other competitively. The all-time head-to-head series between these teams is 55-55-1.
Miami Dolphins injury report
The Dolphins are healthy going into the weekend, except for two key starters on defense. Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins (quad) is one of the best-run defenders on the roster, and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (back) makes impactful plays every week. Both players are questionable.
New York Jets injury report
The Jets have listed quarterback Zach Wilson's (knee) status as doubtful, but they have already announced that veteran Joe Flacco will start the game on Sunday. Guard Alijah Vera-Tucker and defensive lineman Nathan Shepard are questionable to play.
