Daily Dolphin Report: Injuries and Stinky Defense

Starting today I am going to be doing a daily feature on Dolphin news. This makes it easier to compile all the Dolphin news from the weekend or day into one neat little post. Of course FinsNation.com is your one stop shop for all things Dolphin related, but I felt the need to throw my 2 cents in on this awful team.

Injuries, Injuries, Injuries

Channing Crowder – Crowder, who walked with a significant limp after the game, said he sprained his left ankle when his cleat got stuck in the mud that formed when it rained on the infield dirt before the game.

Vonnie Holliday – Holliday’s right ankle sprain also took place on the side of the field that has the infield dirt, but it’s unclear if the field conditions contributed to his injury.

Depth Chart Moves

Donovin Darius, filling in for the injured Yeremiah Bell, has already jumped past Travis Daniels on the Dolphins depth chart. Darius started his first game yesterday and recorded a team high 9 tackles. The Dolphins were desperate to improve on Special Teams yesterday that they inserted starters from the defense and offense to lend a hand. Will Allen and Crowder were inserted on Special Teams as well as Ted Ginn, who recorded one tackle.

Run Ronnie Run

Lost in all the…well…losing was another amazing performance from Ronnie Brown who when used properly actually looks like a 2nd overall pick. Ronnie led the Dolphins in both rushing and receiving yesterday compiling 134 yards on only 15 carries and receiving 73 yards on six catches.

You can catch a review of yesterday’s day dubbed “The Worst Day in Franchise History” over on FinsNation. The Dude reflects.

Update: Dolphins DL Vonnie Holliday will miss at least one-to-two weeks after suffering a lower leg fracture in Sunday’s loss. Dolphins LBs Channing Crowder (ankle) and Zach Thomas (concussion) are considered day-to-day, according to coach Cam Cameron.
