Practice Updates 8/28

[Superself]

Dolphins rookie RB Kalen Ballage has cleared the concussion protocol.
He was dressed for Miami's third preseason game. Ballage missed nearly two weeks with the brain injury. He projects as the Dolphins' No. 3 running back behind Kenyan Drake and venerable veteran Frank Gore. Aug 25 - 6:28 PM

Some confusion before the game about his actual status, seems he hasnt been cleared yet

 

[Crump]

at this point don't even just rest starters Thursday, role players or key backups need to keep their asses on the bench.

Will have to wait to see if we get any more word on Larsen, brendel statis update would be nice? About a week out to start practicing? Week to week? Anything

yeah its getting pretty ridiculous. I'm not quite sure the guy has a lower leg anymore

This is why McDonald is the starter he's an enforcer.

I'd like to see Mcdonald enforcing his will as an LB while minkah is playing FS

Asiata may be the odd man out with a healthy Oline. He has to show something this week to make the roster.

Maybe but right now the OL depth isn't healthy. We know about Brendel and now Larson got hurt.

What Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase just said

By Joe Schad, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

DAVIE —
Here are some things Adam Gase said today:

• William Hayes (hamstring) is on track for Week 1.

• The best thing Reshad Jones brings is experience. He is also a uniquely talented tackler.

• It’s important to play better than last week.

• OT Zach Sterup has been very consistent.

• Don’t know yet what it up with injured G/C Ted Larsen.

• These rookies don’t feel like rookies. They’re different.

• The more Tony Lippett plays the more comfortable he’s getting. We want to get him extra snaps in this game. Challenge receivers. Use your length.

Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake’s mindset: ‘Never let my feet stop moving’

Depending how bad it is, might be career ending for Ted... Feel bad for the guy

There goes all of our depth in the interior OL. Who's left, Asiata and Matthews? Yikes! Maybe move one of the backup tackles (Smith?) to guard and have to keep Matthews as backup center.

 

[Danny]

damn injuries. But tbh, so far we've been very lucky that none of the starters have been hurt

 

[hoops]

Without brendel we now have a serious problem if Larsen is out any real time.

Gase with a endorsement of Sterup. Welcome to the 53 kid barring a collapse in the Thursday finale.

Ask gase to keep you away from hilland. He’s so bad.

Thankfully some discipline is being administered.
