The following Patriots players are inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins: linebacker Dont'a Hightower, safety Kyle Dugger, quarterback Jarrett Stidham, tight end Devin Asiasi and running back J.J. Taylor.
This means wide receiver N'Keal Harry will return to the game-day roster after being a healthy inactive last week. The Patriots will also get Nelson Agholor back after he's missed the last two games with a concussion.
Cornerback Joejuan Williams is also active. He's been a healthy scratch the last few weeks.
Dugger and Hightower were known ahead of time, and there were no real surprises with the other inactives. It is worth noting Shaun Wade was not listed even though he was ruled out by the team earlier in the day due to illness. Perhaps this means he's heading for the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Damien Harris (hamstring) is active. But, it will be worth watching how much he plays, as he was held back a bit last week in the win over the Jaguars.
New England has clinched a spot in the playoffs and still has a shot at winning the AFC East. It needs a win combined with a Bills loss to the Jets.
