Miami Dolphins front office boss Bill Parcells has always had a simple philosophy regarding injuries: He doesn’t want to hear about them.
That’s probably why the Dolphins were the only team in the league that had no injuries listed on this week’s official injury report. But even if every single player is healthy, some players have to be inactive.
For the Dolphins today against the New Orleans Saints, per NFL.com, the inactive players are running back Kory Sheets, tackle Andrew Gardner, defensive end Lionel Dotson, tackle Lydon Murtha, tight end John Nalbone, wide receiver Patrick Turner and linebacker Quentin Moses. Tyler Thigpen is the third quarterback.
For the Saints, the inactives are kicker Garrett Hartley, defensive back Leigh Torrence, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins, running back Lynell Hamilton, linebacker Scott Fujita, center Nick Leckey and nose tackle Kendrick Clancy. Chase Daniel is the third quarterback.

Or… they had a few players with minor injuries that healed over the bye week, like Joey Porter’s hamstring and Channing Crowder’s ankle.
