Dolphins defensive end Tony McDaniel, who suffered a hand injury in Monday night’s 38-24 loss to the Patriots, did not attend practice. He had his hand put in a cast. If that’s the case he could play with the cast, but might miss this Sunday’s game against the Texans.
Safety Chris Clemons, who has been battling an undisclosed leg injury since the exhibition-season finale against Dallas, sat out Wednesday’s practice.
Also sidelined was pass rusher Jason Taylor, who suffered a leg injury against the Patriots. Taylor finished the game. On Wednesday he did a rehab assignment.
Roberto Wallace, who suffered a leg injury during special teams coverage, didn’t practice on Wednesday. He was participating in a rehab assignment.
On the positive side….
Rookie backs Daniel Thomas and Charles Clay participated in Wednesday’s session. Not sure if their work was limited. Both are nursing hamstring injuries, which are tricky for players at their position.
Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall, who got nicked up in the closing minutes of Monday night’s game, worked without limitations.
In other news, former Purdue cornerback Brandon King (5-10, 194) has replaced Vincent Agnew on the practice squad.
King is the third new player on the practice squad. Safety Anderson Russell and offensive guard Ray Feinga joined the unit last week.
