Dolphins' Parker, Falcons' Sanu inactive because of injuries

The Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons are missing starting wide receivers because of injuries.

Miami's DeVante Parker is inactive with an ankle injury after being listed as doubtful on the team's most recent update.

As expected, Mohamed Sanu is out for Atlanta with a hamstring injury. Falcons receiver Marvin Hall, signed from the practice squad this week, is in uniform.

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant, on the injury report with a back problem, is active.

Jets leading rusher Bilal Powell is out after missing practice all week with a strained calf. Matt Forte, however, returns after being sidelined for two games with turf toe. Forte is expected to split time with rookie Elijah McGuire in the backfield.

Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is active despite not practicing all week because of a sprained shoulder and a toe injury.

Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore is out for the game, apparently not fully recovered from concussion symptoms. He was also limited during the week by an ankle injury, but had practiced fully on Friday. Backup Eric Rowe is also out with a groin injury.

New England rookie linebacker Harvey Langi was also inactive after being hospitalized following a car accident in Foxborough, Mass., on Friday night.

The Patriots said Langi was stopped at a traffic light when he and another passenger were rear-ended by another car.

Also, Saints left tackle Terron Armstead is active for the first time this season coming off shoulder surgery in mid-June. Wide receiver Willie Snead is active for the first time this season following a three-game suspension for a DWI and a one-game absence in London because of a sore hamstring.

For the Lions, guard T.J. Lang is a starter who was questionable with a back injury.
