Share + Nov 20, 2009 10:36 am US/Eastern Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown remained in Charlotte after Thursday night's Panthers game to undergo surgery on his broken foot.

For the second straight week, Patriots rookie cornerback Darius Butler will reunite with one of his college teammates from Connecticut.

Last season, linebacker Joey Porter was in the running for NFL defensive MVP until he tailed off late in the season.

Linebacker Matt Roth joined his teammates on the practice field Wednesday for the first time since mini-camp in June.

A lot. So much that the Dolphins guard says he might go to one of the remedies several teammates evidently have tried: Botox on the back.

Guard Donald Thomas is mourning the murder of Jasper Howard , his former Connecticut teammate, who died Sunday following an on-campus stabbing in Storrs, Conn.

Will Monday night mark the third straight week that we've seen Nate Garner as the tackle eligible on the Miami Dolphins ' goal-line offense? If so, we could be in for a nice little side story as Garner was a 2008 seventh-round pick of the J-E-T-S. Should Garner actually catch a touchdown pass, it would be quite a milestone for the Arkansas product.

When the Dolphins face the Jets on Monday night, physical play will be the name of the game.

New center Jake Grove started out his tenure with the Miami Dolphins fairly slow, but he's since picked it up, helping the Dolphins become one of the most effective running lines in the NFL.

The Dolphins are about to go into team meetings and coach Tony Sparano has already spoken to the press.

The Miami Dolphins made a minor practice squad transaction this week, releasing second-year linebacker Danny Lansanah and signing rookie linebacker K. C. Asiodu.

Talking points after the Dolphinsa TM 23-13 loss at San Diego that dropped them to 0-3: 1. Davone Bess is reliable, Ted Ginn Jr.

Indianapolis Colts reserve offensive lineman Kyle DeVan noticed after Monday night's victory at Miami he had received a cell phone text message from teammate Jamey Richard, who didn't make the trip because of a shoulder injury.

Miami Dolphins starting left guard Justin Smiley, who is nursing a shoulder injury, continues to have his practice participation limited for the second straight day.

The first offseason shake-up for the Heat might occur in a matter of days when Michael Beasley begins the workout process for his new job.

I'm already here and it's still two-and-half hours before kickoff. And I'm watching Jake Long, Justin Smiley and Jake Grove already on the field working on their passprotection stances.

The Dolphins continue to get ready for Monday nights home opener against the colts.

Jake Long was flattened into a 317-pound pancake by defensive end and human spatula John Abraham.

The Dolphins say the problems with their offensive line are correctable. They say many issues, but not all, can be fixed in a week.
