The Patriots appear to be in good shape when it comes to their health heading into Week 1 of the regular season this Sunday when they host the Dolphins.

New England had perfect attendance at its first practice of the week Monday afternoon, according to reporters on scene. Brandon Bolden and practice squad D’Angelo Ross were in in red non-contact jerseys.

Meanwhile, things aren't as good in Miami.

The Dolphins placed two players on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday -- offensive tackle Austin Jackson and tight end Adam Shaheen. Shaheen is not vaccinated.

These players have not been ruled out of Sunday's game yet, but it's not what Miami was looking for.

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. Sunday.
