Giants at Dolphins -- Robert Ayers and Ereck Flowers are active

One of the questions coming into tonight's game against the Miami Dolphins was which players would be active, and how that would effect the starting lineups.

Particularly, the potential absence of Robert Ayers and Ereck Flowers looms large. Well, with kickoff roughly an hour away, we got our answers.

As it turned out, the Giants will have the services of both Ayers and Flowers tonight. It remains to be seen how much Flowers plays, he was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and was on crutches up until this week. However the rookie is quickly gaining renown for his toughness, having already played through an ankle sprain earlier in the season.

The Giants, however, will be without safety Brandon Meriweather, likely once again moving Craig Dahl into the starting role opposite of Landon Collins. That also prolongs Cooper Taylor's audition to remain with the team.
