          The Dolphins will likely have to rely more on Reggie Bush after running back Daniel Thomas was downgraded to out on Saturday.

          Miami also downgraded cornerback Vontae Davis to out as well. Both Thomas and Davis have hamstring injuries.

          Bush, who has been dealing with a groin injury, is expected to see the bulk of the carries with Thomas out. Lex Hilliard could also see some short-yardage work as well.

          Without Davis, the Dolphins will have a bit of a harder time defending against Eli Manning, who comes into this game playing sharp football. Here are also five things to watch in Sunday's game.
