Seasoned Veteran
With starting quarterback Joey Harrington nursing a sprained ankle, it'd be nice to have Daunte Culpepper available in case of emergency.
However, that seems highly unlikely, according to Dolphins coach Nick Saban, who almost closed the door on Culpepper's injury-plagued season.

Saban said Harrington would be re-evaluated Wednesday.
Saban seems to be holding out hope that Culpepper could be available before the season ends, even thought only three games remain.
"I always have hope," Saban said. "We would make that assessment on what's in front of us, not some speculation because we would see him practice and see what he needs to do to be able to play."

Notes and Quotes
WR Marty Booker had eight catches, giving him 51 this season. Along with Wes Welker (59) and Chris Chambers (55), it's the first time in franchise history that three wide receivers have had 50 or more receptions in the same season. "Well, he had a great game today, really. He really competed well in the game. He played with a lot of toughness and tenacity, and he's been catching a lot of balls," Dolphins coach Nick Saban said of Booker.
