Wake NOT playing, Soliai is, as FIns, Saints near kickoff; the inactives

Word has just come out the star DE Cameron Wake will NOT be playing tonight.

Wake went through an extensive pre-game workout as Joe Philbin, Kevin Coyle, and team doctors watched.  Reports had Wake not looking anywhere near 100%, but he still went to the locker room and, according to Jeff Darlington, began to dress as if he were playing.

Apparently, somewhere between then and now Wake was told he would not be playing.  Starting in his place will be Jared Odrick.

The news is much better for Paul Soliai, who will be active tonight after missing last week's game with a knee injury.  Soliai looked good in warm ups and should be very involved in this game.

Also expect a huge work load for DE Derrick Shelby, and rookie Dion Jordan.

As for the other inactives, here they are, first, for the Miami Dolphins:


QB Pat Devlin
CB Dimitri Patterson
G Danny Watkins
G Dallas Thomas
RB Mike Gillislee
CB Will Davis

Notice that rookie CB Jamar Taylor WILL be active for the first time this season tonight.  Expect him to play a lot in the base formation.

Saints inactives:

Lance Moore
Mark Ingram
Roman Harper,
Rod Sweeting,
Terron Armstead,
Brodrick Bunkley
Tom Johnson

The Dolphins will break out their aqua/blue tops for the first time this season, along with their white pants.
