Tunsil's absence leaves Dolphins' line without 3 starters

Published Nov. 27, 2016 12:14 p.m. ET

Laremy Tunsil is inactive Sunday because of a shoulder injury, leaving the Miami Dolphins without three starting offensive linemen against the San Francisco 49ers.

Center Mike Pouncey was earlier ruled out due to a hip injury, and left tackle Branden Albert is out with a dislocated left wrist.

Anthony Steen is starting at center, Kraig Urbik at left guard and Sam Young at left tackle.

Pouncey and Albert both missed last week's game against the Rams, and Tunsil departed in the first half, leaving the Dolphins with a patchwork line as they earned their fifth victory in a row.

For Buffalo, which plays Jacksonville, receiver Sammy Watkins is active for the first time since Week 2. He has missed the past eight games after aggravating an injury to his surgically repaired left foot. Also active is Bills running back LeSean McCoy, who had surgery a week ago after dislocating his left thumb.

The Jaguars' will have no true nose tackle since Roy Miller is on injured reserve, and Abry Jones is out. Alex Ellis, promoted off Jacksonville's practice squad on Saturday, will get the start at tight end.

New Orleans offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee, quadriceps), who has been out two weeks, is active for the Saints' game against the Rams after being listed as questionable Friday. Also, Saints running back Mark Ingram, knocked out in Carolina 10 days ago and placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, is active after also being listed as questionable.

Adam Gettis will start at left guard for the New York Giants against Cleveland. Gettis replaces Justin Pugh, who injured his knee on Nov. 6 and has been limited in practice. Gettis will be making his first career start for New York, which has had a revolving door at the position.
