Analysis: The Dolphins are hurting at linebacker. Two starters -- Misi and Jenkins -- missed practice for the second straight day. Their status for Sunday is in question. They may have to look at backup options such as
Jason Trusnik,
Kelvin Sheppard or
Chris McCain. Taylor and Finnegan were limited but both appear promising for the Patriots game. They are certainly needed against New England quarterback
Tom Brady and the NFL’s seventh-ranked passing game.
