Daunte Culpepper returned to practice Wednesday, albeit in a red non-contact jersey.
It's his first full practice in three weeks. Culpepper reportedly had a slight limp and it would be very surprising if Joey Harrington was pulled after back-to-back wins. That said, we'll see if Culpepper is upgraded on the injury report later Wednesday. The Dolphins face Minnesota this week, then the Lions on Thanksgiving. Culpepper and Harrington could go on a revenge tour!

Great that he's practicing. Too bad about the limp. Looks like he's not healing very well.
 
Ronnie also sat, I wonder how Morris would do if he was forced to start?

I don't think that you can say that he's not healing very well. It's just not as quick as many of us would like. The injury he had takes at least this long to overcome. And having already played may have made things worse and prolonged the recovery.

I don't know about having made it worse - I think maybe it just prolonged getting back to full strength because the rehab work was put on the shelf. The original estimate was 9 to 12 months to be healthy enough to play and 18 months to get back to 100%.

18 months would be in April. Not sure how long to get to 110% like some posters are asking for...
 
They want to put him in against Minny, or Pepp wants to be put in.

He wants a bit of revenge.
 
That is probabaly a good sign, considering it was rumored he was deactivated and didnt practice because it was too much for his knee to both rehab and practice/play.
 
I am a former athlete and had the same injury as Culpepper did. Although you feel good and think you can be the same this injury usually takes 2 full years for you to get back to normal. If you look at people with same injury it takes them at least 2 full years.
 
All three ligaments? I'm surprised hes making it back at all. Good for him

Realistically, put him of IR let those ligaments heal 110%
 
The increased rehab work is making the patella tendon flare. When he limps, it's because of a sore patella tendon, not because of his ligaments.

There's no way he suddenly gets inserted for the Vikes game...or the Lions game on the short week. But, after the Lions game, the Dolphins do have a long week which is almost like another bye week.

Depending on where we are from a win/loss perspective, you could see Daunte back in the lineup after the Lions game.

I would personally like to avoid at this point sending Daunte out to play Minnesota, and I would like to avoid sending Joey out to play Detroit...truth be told. I don't think emotionally packed games like that are conducive to winning right now.
 
More likely his patella tendon eased up on him a little bit. If it weren't a short week I would say the goal is to have Joey face Minnesota and Daunte face Detroit.

I don't like the idea of either player facing his old team in what is likely to become a distracting emotion-filled contest. You want these games to be about what the Dolphins do, not what Daunte Culpepper or Joey Harrington do.

Especially Joey heading into Detroit in front of all the Lions fans that had him down on himself for so long. I don't know about that man. Hopefully he'll be ok cuz like I said with the short week I don't see much chance that Daunte could go in there.

That's what I meant by making it worse ... I didn't mean a re-injury or anything like that. :D
 
i'm ready to ride th enext few years out with harrington, i liked him in college and just thought he had a rough go of it with the lions. He looks real good nwo that he has had time to evaluate his supporting cast and time to actaully grasp the playbook. I am not convinced on Peps ability anymore.
 
he just needs to fully recover at whatever cost. we spent a 2nd rounder on this guy and i really dont wanna lose another one of those on a qb that didnt do anything. cpep has potential but needs his wheels back.
