The New England Patriots entered the weekend with questions along the offensive line. Starting right tackle Morgan Moses had missed the first practice of the week because of a foot injury and was limited on both Thursday and Friday, officially getting labeled as questionable before the team’s road trip to Miami.
However, Moses was given the green light to travel and play in the game. With him available, the Patriots are going to field their top offensive line against what is on paper a solid Dolphins
defensive line: he will be joined by left tackle Will Campbell, left guard Jared Wilson, center Garrett Bradbury and right guard Mike Onwenu.
The Patriots’ full game day roster for Sunday’s game looks as follows:
Patriots game day roster: Week 2 vs. Dolphins
Quarterback (2): Drake Maye (10), Joshua Dobbs (11)
Running back (4): Rhamondre Stevenson (38), TreVeyon Henderson (32 | KR), Antonio Gibson (4 | KR), Jack Westover (37 | FB/TE)
Wide receiver (5): Kayshon Boutte (9), DeMario Douglas (3), Stefon Diggs (8), Mack Hollins (13), Kyle Williams (18)
Tight end (2): Hunter Henry (85), Austin Hooper (81)

Interior offensive line (4): Jared Wilson (58 | LG), Garrett Bradbury (65 | C), Mike Onwenu (71 | RG), Ben Brown (77)
Interior defensive line (5): Christian Barmore (90), Milton Williams (97), Khyiris Tonga (95), Joshua Farmer (92), Cory Durden (94)
Defensive edge (4): Harold Landry III (2), K’Lavon Chaisson (44), Elijah Ponder (91), Anfernee Jennings (33)
Linebacker (5): Robert Spillane (14), Christian Elliss (53), Jack Gibbens (51), Marte Mapu (15), Mark Robinson (46)
Cornerback (5): Carlton Davis III (7), Marcus Jones (25 | PR), Alex Austin (28), Charles Woods (22), Kobee Minor (19)

Specialists (3): Andy Borregales (36 | K), Bryce Baringer (17 | P/H), Julian Ashby (47 | LS)
Outside of the offensive line configuration, there are no real surprises on the Patriots’ game day roster. The team will be relatively deep at linebacker, with practice squad elevation Mark Robinson as a fifth player. The expectation, however, is that he will see most if not all of his snaps on special teams rather than defense.
Speaking of defense: Anfernee Jennings will be a player to keep an eye on. The 2020 third-round draft pick, who was the subject of trade speculation this summer, will make his season debut versus Miami; Keion White not making the trip due to an illness has elevated him to the game day squad.

New England’s reserves for Sunday’s game do not include any surprises based on Friday’s final injury report. The most notable change therefore happened on injured reserve, which saw second-year wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk traded to the New Orleans Saints.
The Patriots’ Week 2 game against the Dolphins will be kicked off at 1 p.m. ET at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
