[intro]Dolphins backup linebacker Scott Galyon remains unable to shake the injury bug that has plagued his NFL career.
Galyon broke his right thumb during Monday night's 14-10 exhibition loss at Tampa Bay and is expected out four to six weeks, which means he will likely miss the team's Sept. 8 regular-season opener against Detroit.
"It was on the first punt," said Galyon, who is the backup weak-side linebacker behind Derrick Rodgers and a key special teams player. "I got pushed in the back but was close enough to the returner [Aaron Lockett] that I could let my body fly into him. I stuck my arm out and hit him somewhere and messed it up."[/intro]
Dolphins rookie cornerback Omare Lowe also could miss several weeks after spraining his right ankle in the second quarter. Lowe, who was pushing for playing time as a dime cornerback, was in a cast after the game.
Other Dolphins players who suffered injuries were defensive tackles Tim Bowens (bruised left wrist) and Larry Chester, who aggravated his surgically repaired left ankle.
Defensive end David Bowens (groin), running back Robert Edwards (groin), defensive end Rob Burnett (hamstring) and linebacker Tommy Hendricks (hamstring) didn't dress but are expected to play in Thursday's home exhibition game against New Orleans.
