Dolphins getting healthier while Packers are limping

While the Green Bay Packers are hurting at quarterback, tight end and other positions this week, the Dolphins are getting healthier.

Today, when the Dolphins take the practice field for the first full workout of the week in preparation for the Acme Packers, several players that have been nursing injuries, resting injuries, or recovering from injuries are scheduled to work.

Jake Long, who hasn't practiced the last four workouts the Dolphins have held, is expected back at practice today. He is nursing the same knee injury suffered in the preseason finale against Dallas and was merely resting during the bye week in an effort to get healthier.

Jared Odrick, who has missed three games following the regular-season opener, is scheduled to practice today at least on a limited basis. The Dolphins will monitor him this week in hopes he can contribute a number of snaps against the Packers. He may not start, but the Dolphins are hoping he can play. That will be determined later in the week.

Channing Crowder, who hasn't played all season nursing a groin-abdominal injury, is expected to take a routine number of first-team snaps at practice today. The Dolphins are expecting Crowder to be able to begin his 2010 season this weekend at Lambeau Field.

The Crowder return to first-team repetitions is indirectly a help to Miami's embatled special teams. With Crowder taking those reps, Tim Dobbins, who along with Bobby Carpenter, did the work Crowder typically does on defense. He should now be more able to add repetitions on special teams.

In case you are not aware, Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers is nursing a concussion. He will miss practice time this week. Tight end Jermichael Finley is not playing following surgery and backup Donald Lee's status is also uncertain, which is good news for a Miami team that often struggles against tight ends.

Linebacker Clay Matthews, who leads the NFL in sacks with 8.5, is nursing a hamstring injury and also, at minimum, will be limited this week in practice.

[Update: Internet service at the Dolphins practice facility has been down until now (1:03 p.m.) so I haven't been able to offer an update. But now I can so here it is: Everyone on the roster practiced for the Dolphins today. Everyone! Jake Long, Odrick, Crowder. Everyone. It marks the first time since the start of the regular season that has happened.]

That is some story. But couldn't the mine company get them out? isn't it their responsibility.

[DC Dolfan]

Mark Mark Mark, I thought you were a financial guy dude. You know corporations only TAKE money, they never give anything back to the community. They TAKE up spaces for their building, which TAKE our energy. They only give us back pollution and chemicals for our water supply.

Just like the oil companies, mining companies never really think about silly things like accidents, tragedies. Then it's someone else's problem. If it's not enriching their grimy little pockets, corporations don't care about it.

Touche, DC.

US financials were the best example I've seen of this in my lifetime. Mess up millions of people's lives with their own greed - then extend their hands to the taxpayers to bail them out from their own stupidity/greed.

If anyone is wondering why we didn't have the same problem here in Canada, it's because our banks are regulated/controlled by the government. They are not allowed the same freedoms as the US counterparts. But I digress ....

[DC Dolfan]

Trust me folks, Democrat or Republican, we're all in belly of a dying beast (sorry Mark, not you, you're ok in Canada). Like a White Dwarf star, or Rome, we're a degenerating empire. Capitalism sustained us for at least one bicentennial, but we failed to learn the lessons of Star Trek. Wars, greed and reality tv have turned U.S. into a freakshow. Second Depression is nothing, the North Korean Son rises in the East. Gravity is trying to keep us grounded, but soon we won't even need physics, since it's hard to move a ton. Wall-E showed us the future, and it's full of trash. I wish I ate the red pill instead.

[Mark in Toronto]

DC, we have plenty of room in Canada, come on up. I hope you don't mind our tax rates ...

Just realized, I'm being pretty negative today. But really I'm a glass half-full person. If Miami wins Sunday, I'll be able to wallow in my ignorance of the coming Armageddon. When Miami's playing, all the evil and hate in the world disappear and all I see is the aqua and orange aura of G-d.

I keep forgetting not to eat the wild mushrooms I picked before games, geez!

[Mark in Toronto]

Hahaha, DC, I can see that this loss before the bye week is really eating away at you.

No worries, the Dolphins will make us all smile on Sunday!!!

All Miami Dolphin players able to practice for the 1st time ... including Crowder who has not practiced/played since 1st Q of 1st preseason game

Eerily so# 13 sure seems to have much significance

[DC Dolfan]

Mark, I'm not supposed to say this being from Virginia, but I'd take higher taxes all day for universal health care/education.

Plus there's more guns in Canada than the U.S., while the murder rate is a fraction of even one major U.S. city. Oh Wise One, teach our people your ways.

[Home 4 Gruden 2011]

Miami 3-2
with a Pats loss to Baltimore

will be a good thing for Dolfans

[DC Dolfan]

Back to football, anyone get a clear (or honest) answer on what Crowder's injury actually was? Now it's labeled as a groin/abdomen injury. Caused by what, riding the stationary bike too hard?

And they never identified the Jerry sickness. Why all this mystery. The CDC is here in Maryland (where I work), that's where all the viruses are. Who would of thunk you don't need to go to the Congo in Africa to find exotic diseases. Just go to Davie. They got more exotic diseases than Merill Lynch has exotic financial products. Credit-default-swop anyone?

[Home 4 Gruden 2011]

Us taxpayers gave AIG 1.8 Billion dollars of their money for , said bailout

Next week
AIG grossly overpaid executives took the money & went to top shelf luxury spa and each individual spent thousands of dollars on "spa treatments" and booze at the resort

again 1.8 Billion out of our weekly checks

[Mark in Toronto]

DC, I will share our gun secret if anyone can tell me how to get outof jury duty. Man, I don't have time for this right now.

[ALoco]

MARK,

there's on miner is not out yet who has a wife and a mistress .
his wife found out while he was tuck down .lol

[ALoco]

stuck

[odinseye]

Mark,

Tell us the gun secrets.

You can get out of jury duty by telling them how Haarpy rays and chemtrails have affected your dogs vocabulary!

[Mark in Toronto]

Hahahha, he's probably volunteering to be the last one out. Last thing you want to do is cheese off a latino lady. Ask John Bobbit.

[Mark in Toronto]

I was bluffing, I don't have gun secrets - never even fired one off in my life.

I was just hoping someone could get me out of jury duty. I'm a consultant so if I'm not working, I'm not earning. Bad enough that I got the crap kicked out of me by the recession, but they are going to ask me to miss more work so I can stand in at some degenerate's case.

[odinseye]

Gun control and murder rates will soon be moot points.

Corporations like AIG and administrations like Bush and Obama's are spurning more than just foreign terrorists.

Even a rat will turn around and bite you if you chase him into a corner.

[odinseye]

Wow, I just re-read my last post and decided I need to lighten up.

So, how good are Green Bays left and right tackles?

Wake needs to have a Monster game, Rodgers or not!

[2 watt]

has henne been benched yet.?

[Mark in Toronto]

Odin, Clifton starts at LT. He's been a very good player his whole career but is pretty long in the tooth. He's not what he once was.

1st round pick Bulaga starts at RT. He's obviously and up and comer since GB seems to always nail their #1 picks. They don't waste those at all.

[odinseye]

2watt,

Have a little consideration for the rest of us here PLEASE!

Brush Yo Grill Honky!!!!

[wu1sabes]

I think was probably made clear to the players, practice or else your gone.

[DC Dolfan]

Mark, I just got the notice too. But I have a cousin on the force in DC. So I ALWAYS tell them I believe everything cops say (even though the truth is exactly the opposite, sorry Cuban). You still have to go for the 1st day, but trust me, it works. When they pick you for the jury pool, and ask you to fill out that questionnaire, tell them you have a relative in the force, and you're biased towards what the cops say.

I've had jury duty maybe 10 times, and it worked on all occasions but one (and I was just an alternate).

[DC Dolfan]

odinseye, don't worry man. Move to Delaware, they elect witches!

[Mark in Toronto]

thanks for the tip, DC

[ALoco]

the 22th miner is out

[cowkilla]

So what do you guys think about this....
Miami has always had good talks with the Chargers when it comes to deals and trades.. Well it was announced that they are releasing Shawne Merriman within two weeks...Should we go after him? I say why not stick him in with Dansby and Can-O-Chowder...

[Mark in Toronto]

cowkilla, Merriman is finished. Devastating knee injury. SD would not be releasing him if he wasn't done.

[cowkilla]

Hey Mando...can you look into weather or not MIA is looking to possibly bringing Merriman in? Feed us some info my friend!!

[cowkilla]

I disagree, im watching it now on espn 3-D, he has a minor calf thing now but they know within 2 weeks he will be completely healthy..I think he is better than chowder no matter what is wrong with him...

[cowkilla]

He isnt even nursing that knee anymore, and many players have had the same or worse knee jammy's and have pkayed just fine. Look at the guy from Minn, and NY this year...and many others.. Merriman with a sore calf is vetter than chowder anyday...and imagine him and dansby back there with cam wake coming off the end...sounds sick to me...

[cowkilla]

Sup Aloco, whats the happs mang

[ALoco]

cowkiller, what kind of coffee you drink ?

[cowkilla]

Here in orlando our gun crimes arent too bad, but that doesnt stop me from carrying. And no im not an nra freak guys...I grew up in CT hunting with my gramps, uncle, and dad...guns are just a part of our family. The issue in america today weather it be be guns or and violent crime is the way some people are teaching their kids these days...or their lack of involvement in their kids lives. Education is a huge factor. And in some cases these kids just need a chance in life, the streets are killers of our kids these days
