Jaguars vs Dolphins: Injury report and starting lineup - October 17 | NFL 2021-22 Season

The last NFL International Series game of the 2021 season puts two Florida teams against each other for a 9:30 a.m. EST kickoff when the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars play in London.

Together, the Dolphins and the Jaguars have a single win in the 2021 season, with both considered major disappointments in the first five weeks. There was some expectation for Miami to be a playoff contender, but injuries to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and a defensive regression have left the Dolphins with a 1-4 start.

On the other hand, the Jaguars are a complete mess. Yes, they have Trevor Lawrence under center, but they did a poor job building an offense around him, thus his full potential is yet to be unlocked. There's also the chaos caused by Urban Meyer's off-field distractions.

It's a mixed bag for the Dolphins in their final injury report before the game.

Two of their biggest stars will be out from the contest. Cornerback Xavien Howard, who led the NFL in interceptions last year, and wide receiver DeVante Parker, one of Miami's best receiving options, are both confirmed absences with shoulder injuries. They didn't practice the whole week.

Cornerback Byron Jones (achilles), tight end Adam Shaheen (knee) and quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) all had limited practice throughout the week and are considered game-time decisions for the game.

If there are any good news, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is out of the injury report and should start his first game since Week 2. Miami desperately needs him back.

The Jaguars got a little bit of luck with injuries for this overseas game. The only absence from their starting lineup will be linebacker Myles Jack, who's recovering from a back injury and did not practice all week.

Cornerback Tyson Campbell and defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, both new additions to the team for the 2021 season, had limited practice over the week and are considered questionable to play.

Backup offensive lineman Rashaad Coward is also out for Sunday's game with an ankle injury.
