MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins will get Tyreek Hill back Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after the star receiver missed last week's game because of an ankle injury.

Hill, who had been listed as questionable, injured his left ankle on a tackle against the Tennessee Titans two weeks ago. He leads the NFL with 1,542 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns.

The Dolphins will be without starting safety Jevon Holland for the fourth straight game as he nurses injuries to both knees. Holland was injured in Miami's game against the Jets on Black Friday, when he also had a interception that he returned 99 yards for a touchdown.

Cornerback Xavien Howard (hip) and right tackle Austin Jackson (oblique) are active. Howard did not play last week.

Right guard Robert Hunt (hamstring) was ruled out on Friday, and rookie cornerback Cam Smith (hamstring), as well as defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah (hamstring) are also out.
