MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins are set to play the 15th game of their 2023 campaign on Sunday afternoon for a Christmas Eve Showdown with the Dallas Cowboys at Hard Rock Stadium and will have some of their key players back in action.

The Dolphins listed wide receiver Tyreek Hill as active and he will look to exploit matchups against a talented Cowboys secondary that includes Deron Bland and Stephon Gilmore.

Dolphins OT Austin Jackson will also start at right tackle after being ruled questionable all week with an oblique injury.

Jackson will have the task of blocking All-Pro defensive end/ linebacker Micah Parsons, who has 12.5 sacks on the season, and often lines up on the left side of the Cowboys defensive line.

For the matchup, the Dolphins have listed seven players as inactive, including safety Jevon Holland.

Joining Holland on this list are defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, cornerback Cam Smith, tight end Tyler Kroft, wide receiver River Cracraft, right guard Robert Hunt and quarterback Skylar Thompson.

A Dolphins (10-4) victory would clinch a playoff spot for the team and would be the first time Miami has defeated an opponent with a winning record (0-3).

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. from Hard Rock Stadium.
