New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Dwayne Allen, and safety Patrick Chung all were limited in practice Wednesday with injuries.
The Patriots did have perfect attendance at Wednesday's session, however.
Brady, Gronkowski and Chung all played in the team's Week 13 win over the Minnesota Vikings at Gillette Stadium. Brady has not missed a game this season. Gronkowski has missed three and Chung has missed one.
Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard did not practice Wednesday due to a knee injury. He's one of the best defensive backs in the NFL.
Sunday's game is the second meeting between the Patriots and Dolphins this season. New England won the first matchup 38-7 at home in Week 4.
