The Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills have released their first injury reports of the week as the two AFC East division rivals set to face off.

Tindall is battling an illness while Wilson has injuries to his toe and his ribs. The ribs injury was a point of discussion for Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel earlier in the week.
