AP: Moreno activated by Dolphins

[gafin]

Knowshon Moreno was activated Wednesday. But active? Not so much. The Miami Dolphins running back came off the physically unable to perform list and joined practice, a big step in his recovery from a knee injury that forced him to miss the first 12 days of training camp.
But he spent most of the workout watching, sat out 11-on-11 drills and is certain to miss the first exhibition game Friday at Atlanta.
"Today was testing the knee out and seeing how it feels," Moreno said. "I feel good. What I did today I felt pretty good doing. Now the next couple of days I'll just progress and do more and more each day. The main thing is to be ready for the season."
Moreno signed a $3.275 million, one-year contract in March after five seasons with the Denver Broncos. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in June and said his rehabilitation went as expected.
"Every day I did more and more in the training room," he said. "Now it's time to do a little bit more on the field."

"I can't really think about the depth chart," Moreno said. "I'm going to do every play, every practice, every game 100 percent. Whatever happens after that will happen."

Moreno and Miller will be running behind an offensive line with five new starters in the season opener. Even so, third-year coach Joe Philbin said he's optimistic about the running game.
"The only thing I can tell you right now is that it has looked better in training camp so far than I remember it looking in prior training camps," Philbin said. "That's the one thing that my eyes have seen so far. Obviously we haven't seen it in a game yet, but I liked what I've seen. I like the space we've created. I liked the way our lines have worked together so far. That's really what gives me confidence right now."

I'm good with the playbook," Moreno said. "It's a totally different scheme from Denver, but I feel comfortable about it. Now it's just going out there seeing it full speed versus the defense." Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe was among those happy to see Moreno in pads. Ellerbe recruited Moreno to Georgia, where they were teammates in 2006-08.
"I'm ready for him to get healthy and get out there on the field and help this team," Ellerbe said. "He's a kind of guy with a lot of energy. He's a fighter, a good player. He's athletic. I've been a fan since college."
