Notes from Dolphins practice

[DKphin]

1. Albert is full-go. Left tackle Branden Albert was a full participant at practice on Tuesday for the first time since training camp opened, per ESPN.com's James Walker. Slowly but surely, he's made progress this summer. Albert missed the first two preseason games and could miss a third game against the Falcons on Saturday night. He's less than 10 months removed from tearing his ACL and MCL, an injury that comes with a lengthy and arduous rehab.
2. Misi returns. For the first time in a few weeks, middle linebacker Koa Misi took part in practice, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald notes. This is an important development for a paper-thin linebacking corps. Misi is a quality starter, but his health has been an issue over five NFL seasons. He has yet to play in the preseason, though there's a chance that changes against Atlanta on Saturday.
3. Roll call. Offensive tackle Jason Fox, linebacker Jordan Tripp, cornerback Jamar Taylor and wide receiver DeVante Parker all sat out Tuesday's practice, Salguero says. Fox suffered a concussion in Saturday night's loss to the Panthers, which means the Fins could start a third-stringer at left tackle in the upcoming game against the Falcons. That's a concerning thought. Tripp hurt his ankle in the preseason opener and has been out since. Taylor suffered a quad injury in Carolina on Saturday night and the hope is he will be back soon. Parker remains out after June foot surgery and the hope is he will be ready for the regular-season opener.

I think they hold out Misi and have him play a series or two against Tampa

 

[nick1]

Misi better be a go this season. Sheppard sucks and Vigil isn't ready for the bright lights

 

[Tannchise]

next year's focus in draft or FA will be LB and Guards. Tannenbaum gets it, and couldn;t do it all this year

IMO, Tripp has more potential than any of them. We desperately need this guy bigger, stronger,faster, and tough 'n durable!!

we won't be big players in FA. over the cap currently with key players like Vernon and Miller set to expire. although I expect Misi and Grimes to be cut for cap space

 

[Tannchise]

I agree some tough decisions. However, draft and FA still can bring affordable talent

If Grimes plays well not sure how you justify cutting him anymore unless Jamar Taylor plays a full 16 without any dings, and even then.....

true but some cuts have to be made. maybe bobby McCain balls? maybe Taylor balls. too many unknowns but tough cuts will be made

I thought Sheppard sucked the other night also.

I would pick one of the rookies over him

Guards? we have 3 young ones competing right now . . . they'll only be better next year.

Next years #1 focus is going to be CB.

 

[kcbrown]

Not a fan of Sheppard at all. Journeyman back up player.

 

[Kingdom Come]

Not a future with Sheppard.

Misi is a full go to get injured again :boohoo:
