Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill is active and will start Sunday against Indianapolis.

He had been listed as questionable all week after leaving last week's game against the Jets with left knee and thigh injuries. Team officials weren't sure whether he would play until the team issued its inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff.

The Colts (4-3) are keeping running back Donald Brown active but he will not start.

Indy's other inactives are cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Marshay Green, defensive ends Clifton Geathers and Lawrence Guy, offensive tackle Tony Hills, tight end Coby Fleener and receiver Nathan Palmer.

Quarterback Pat Devlin, cornerback Richard Marshall, linebacker Josh Kaddu, offensive tackle Will Yeatman, defensive tackle Tony McDaniel, tight end Michael Egnew and safety Anderson Russell are inactive for Miami (4-3).
