Dolphins WR Marshall, LT Long set to start vs. Patriots

Published: Dec 23, 2011 at 10:34 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall and left tackle Jake Long are active for Saturday's game against the New England Patriots.

Team sources told NFL Network's Albert Breer earlier in the morning that Marshall and Long would start against the Patriots despite respective knee and back issues that limited them in practice throughout the week.

Both players were listed as probable Friday.

Long sat out last week's 30-23 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
