The injuries suffered by two Miami cornerbacks on Saturday were not especially serious, but Miami will be cautious with both. Jamar Taylor has a quadriceps injury but no structural damage. Bobby McCain has an ankle sprain and has been wearing protection on it, but it's not a high-ankle sprain and there was no break.

Both will be on the team this season, so there's no urgency for them to play Saturday if they're still in discomfort.

The reason Olivier Vernon sat out Saturday was because of a groin injury.

Branden Albert (knee) and DeVante Parker (foot) hope to do more work this week.

The Dolphins were off today and resume practicing Tuesday. But the team has gone to regular season media rules, meaning open locker-room but no viewing of practice beyond the first 30 minutes.

The Dolphins released receiver Michael Preston after it became clear he wouldn't make the team. Miami has 89 players now, one under the league maximum for this week. Teams must get down to 75 players by Sept. 1 and 53 by Sept. 5.. Jamar Taylor's quad injury isn't serious as far as anything structurally wrong, but it remains to be seen whether it will limit him this week.

### How serious are the Dolphins about their incredibly detailed sports sciences program? Dolphins executive Mike Tannenbaum told Sirius Radio's Alex Marvez that when Dolphins players come off the field, all 90 are given “custom-made” recovery drinks.

The Dolphins later told me they do indeed prepare 90 different drinks for 90 different players because each of their body compositions are different.

Still nothing on Fox
 
Taylor getting hurt just running a vertical is a come on man moment...this kids got to stay healthy...
 
He says update later on one more not too serious injury...has to be Fox? :idk:
 
wow, the drinks...that's kind of crazy. any other team doing this?
 
Fox needs to play better...matched up with a corpse in the opener not good enough vs the panthers

I hope these magical drinks don't cause a wave of drug test failures.
 
Lazor also cant ask his tight end to come across the formation post snap and pick up a free 43 de while we let verticals develop down the field...i know sims is a damn good blocking tight end but asking him to do that on long developing plays in the pocket is just stupid
 
Making sure these guys are getting all the proper nutrition is a great move.

In this kind of heat there are long and short term effects, just drinking water and eating a good meal is not going to do it.

Its one of the main reasons I believe our past teams have weakened by the end of the season.

Taylor will never be a player to be depended on -- either on field or in health.

The only reason why he's been given chance after chance is not his ceiling. It was his draft position. Damaged goods from the beginning, and that's not counting his game problems.

Wasted draft pick and as time will show: a wasted roster space for how many years?

Get a real CB across from Grimes: physical, healthy, able to defend downfield, and a great feel for the game.
