Word out of Cleveland in the past couple of minutes is that star running back Peyton Hillis has been ruled out due to an illness.
Hillis was said to have had strep throat the past few days, and was rumored to still be contagious, this being the most likely reason for him being deactivated today.
This is a huge break for the Dolphins, as now Montario Hardesty will get the start, as opposed to the Madden ’12 coverboy.
