Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins Prepare for Thursday Night Showdown

The Buffalo Bills are set to host the Miami Dolphins tonight, aiming to move to 3-0 on the season and 2-0 in the AFC East. The Bills have announced their inactive list, which includes defensive tackle Ed Oliver, linebacker Matt Milano, wide receiver Curtis Samuel, offensive lineman Chase Lundt, safety Jordan Hancock, cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram, and defensive end Landon Jackson.

However, the Bills are not without reinforcements. Zion Logue, a defensive tackle who is expected to be part of the team's rotation tonight, and linebacker Keonta Jenkins, an UDFA addition this offseason from Virginia Tech, have been elevated from the practice squad. Jenkins, who has previously played for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL, recorded two tackles on special teams in Week 2 against the New York Jets. Logue, in his second season with the Bills, recorded one tackle, half a sack, and a pass defensed in the team's 30-10 win against the Jets.

The Bills' offensive line for tonight's game includes OL Jon Feliciano, Dion Dawkins, Mitch Morse, Rodger Saffold, and Spencer Brown. On the other hand, the Dolphins' offensive line, which is not listed as inactive, includes Liam Eichenberg, Michael Deiter, Connor Williams, Robert Hunt, and Austin Jackson.

The Dolphins will be without starting cornerback Storm Duck (ankle), safety Ifeatu Melifonwu (calf), and tight end Darren Waller (hip) for tonight's game. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle of the Dolphins is expected to play despite a shoulder injury.

There is a chance that Keonta Jenkins logs defensive reps tonight if the team rotates linebackers behind Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams. The Bills' starting linebacker Matt Milano is inactive for tonight's game.

The Miami Dolphins have listed QB Quinn Ewers as their emergency third quarterback for tonight's game. The Dolphins' inactive list includes CB Storm Duck, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, TE Darren Waller, QB Quinn Ewers (Emergency third QB), CB Juju Brents, WR Tahj Washington, and DT Zeek Biggers.

As both teams prepare for this highly anticipated Thursday Night Football matchup, fans are eager to see how the Bills' defensive adjustments and the Dolphins' offensive strategies will play out on the field.
