Dolphins practice update: Colledge, Finnegan not working

The Dolphins are practicing (sort of) today -- no pads or shells, just shorts -- but there is some bad news:

Cornerback Cortland Finnegan is not working today. He is nursing and rehabilitating an ankle injury that forced him to miss several series of Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Jamar Taylor took over for Finnegan on Sunday and would likely be the cornerback called up if Finnegan cannot play on Thursday against the Buffalo Bills.

Left guard Daryn Colledge, who has been battling back issues for a couple of weeks and has missed two games as a result, was not practicing today during the open portion of practice.

Colledge did not practice on Monday, either.

If Colledge cannot play against the Bills, the Dolphins would likely have to work in much the same manner as they did during the game. The Dolphins used Shelley Smith against the Lions in a rotation with Dallas Thomas.

Dallas Thomas, however, is not going to be available to play guard because he will be taking over at right tackle as coach Joe Philbin said Monday -- in other words, the same way the offensive line moves was handled against the Lions.

RB Lamar Miller was practicing today during the open portion of practice so he is at worst limited in practice.
