It will mark the first time since November that both are on the game day roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Campbell suffered a knee injury in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals and spent four weeks on IR, only returning to practice earlier this week. Williams, who hurt his ankle in Week 11 versus the New York Jets, was already eligible to come off the reserve list last week but was not activated despite a return to practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now, both he and Campbell have been given the green light. The expectation is that both will resume their starting roles along New England\u2019s offensive and defensive lines, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Patriots\u2019 inactives, meanwhile, looks as follows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Patriots entered the weekend with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patspulpit.com\/new-england-patriots-news\/118005\/patriots-vs-dolphins-friday-injury-report-jared-wilson-khyiris-tonga-harold-landry-robert-spillane-out\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">four players already ruled out<\/a>, all of them starter-level contributors: left guard Jared Wilson (concussion protocol), defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga (foot) and linebackers Harold Landry III (knee) and Robert Spillane (ankle). Out of the four, only Spillane practiced at one point during the week. The team captain was a limited participant on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The other three inactives, meanwhile, are all healthy scratches. This also means that the two questionables \u2014 fullback Jack Westover (ankle) and cornerback Charles Woods (foot) \u2014 are good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Dolphins\u2019 inactives list reads like a who\u2019s who of their roster: all six are regular starters. Demoted starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is joined by the team\u2019s No. 1 running back (De\u2019Von Achane), leading receiver (Jaylen Waddle), starting right tackle (Austin Jackson), second outside linebacker (Chop Robinson), and top safety (Minkah Fitzpatrick).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One day after activating them from injured reserve to their 53-man roster, the New England Patriots have officially&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":654089,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[7,1167,249,12136,726,728,2326,2094,6,208],"class_list":{"0":"post-654088","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-new-england","10":"tag-new-england-patriots","11":"tag-new-england-patriots-injuries","12":"tag-new-england-patriots-news","13":"tag-new-england-patriots-roster","14":"tag-newengland","15":"tag-newenglandpatriots","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-patriots"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115838716713080570","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
