Going into this last game against the Green Bay Packers the Dolphins were able to have a number of injured players return and play in the Packer game. It did not take long for the Dolphins to sustain more and new injuries to key starters. Not only is the season quickly slipping away, but now the health of the team is also starting to quickly fade away as well.
It is now official that Knowshon Moreno is out for the season with an ACL injury, and this might be the end of the road for him as a Dolphin since he only had a one year contract. I loved his passion for the game, and when healthy he is a real beast as a runner, but unfortunately it would probably wise to cut ties with a player that has a hard time staying healthy. Finding a running back in the 2015 draft is probably going to be a high priority position on the Dolphins list of needs.
The positive spin on the Moreno injury is that this will give Lamar Miller a chance to prove he can be Miami’s every down back, and their running back for the future. Most sports gambling fans would admit that even after Moreno’s elbow injury, Miller did an excellent job filling in. Miller clearly has improved this season, and I believe that any good running back needs to be fed the rock early and often. This helps them to get a better feel for each defense they face, and the best backs getting stronger and better as the game progresses. I am not saying Miller is a top back, but now that he is clearly the number one running back on the team, he should be getting at least 20 carries a game, and this will show if he can be the real deal or not. One side note is that Miller was held out of practice for an undisclosed injury. Hopefully this is nothing serious, but it will be interesting to see if the Dolphins are now searching for available running backs around the league.
Besides Miller being held out of practice, it appears that Branden Albert, Samson Satele, Koa Misi, Charles Clay and Jimmy Wilson were also limited in practice. It is probably just a precaution, and I would imagine all these players will be playing against the Bears on Sunday, but it will be worth keeping an eye on throughout the week.
In regards to Clay, he was hurting during camp, but he has been able to play in each of the Dolphins 5 games so far. However, it is pretty obvious that Clay is not going to be 100% this season, and he is not going to be able to provide the same production that he was able to provide last season. It is a pity that none of our other tight ends that we drafted have panned out, because if someone actually proved their worth then the wise move would be to let Clay sit out a few games until he was more fit to play, because its painstakingly obvious that this knee injury is preventing Clay from being the type of playing we know he can be.
