Miami Dolphins: The happenings at Wednesday practice

The Miami Dolphins are on the practice field at this hour and this is what's happening:

Wide receiver Brandon Gibson is not practicing, missing work for the second time in as many practices this week. It is uncertain what Gibson is nursing but the thinking is he's still nursing the knee issue he had last year. 

The injury report is coming out later today and that will give details about Gibson's injury.

Cornerback Cortland Finnegan is not practicing today. It is unclear what issue he's dealing with.

The Dolphins have been giving Jamar Taylor work in Finnegan's absense and defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle earlier this week mentioned Taylor is getting more work this week.

From the depth chart lies department we have the example of strongside linebacker. The Dolphins depth chart has Jason Trusnik as the starter at that spot. Trusnik has been a starter since the opener, taking the place of middle linebacker Koa Misi.

But Misi is back so Trusnik is not going to start there. And Jelani Jenkins, who took over for Dannell Ellerbe when he was injured and went on injured reserve, is in fact the next man up at strongside linebacker ahead of Trusnik.

So Jenkins likely keeps that job although Trusnik is listed on the depth chart as the starter.

Finally, the Dolphins are set to announce the newest member of the Honor Roll today. I announced two days ago Manny Fernandez is joining the hallowed group.
