The Miami Dolphins are preparing to play the regular season opener without starting center Mike Pouncey for the second time in three seasons.

Pouncey, who has been rehabbing a hip injury he suffered nearly three weeks ago, hasn't been cleared to practice. And even though head coach Adam Gase insists he's day-to-day, don't expect Miami's Pro Bowl center to be on the field when the Dolphins face the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday's season opener.
This is the second time Pouncey's hip issues have forced him to miss a season opener. Pouncey missed the first four games of the 2014 season because of a procedure he had done to his left hip. This time it's the right hip that's giving him trouble.
Hip and foot injuries have forced Pouncey, a former Florida Gators standout, to miss eight games the past three seasons.
Anthony Steen, a former Alabama right guard the Dolphins have converted to a center this offseason, will make his first NFL start in his first regular season game.
Steen said the toughest challenge of replacing Pouncey is making sure he makes the appropriate offensive line adjustments since the calls at the line of scrimmage are his responsibility.

They have a better chance of running the ball between the tackles with Steen as the C than with Pouncey.
 
Great, we'll have another O-line position to address this offseason, which we clearly can't do without throwing a 1st rounder at it.

Edit: looking at the contract, it's probably the year after next. :(
 
You can tell whenever Omar wrote the article because he calls everyone a "standout". Get some new adjectives bro
 
I'm good with Steen. If there's no drop off, trade Pouncey. He was a terrible guard so yeah....cut ties.
 
I like everything i have seen from steen so far. He was coached by nick saban and from what i remember, bama plays a pro style offense. He has played in a LOT of big games also and that makes a big difference. Its probably why he looks like he belongs and the game and position are not to big for him.

I dont see him being a problem in seattle.
 
I am not a fan of Pouncey, too small to move the big DT in our division and now constantly injury prone.
Steen? Not sure how he will play, but who knows?
 
Can't be worse than Jamil Douglas throwing ground balls to Tannehille's feet while he was in shotgun. Or so we hope...
