I don't believe he is a 100% just yet. He is practicing and should be fine, but I am not sure when he will be 100%.
As for his contract, it is expected to be tricky because of the whole "#32 is usually a 1st round pick" situation. Though it isn't expected to be something that can't be completed before training camp.

I read somewher he was walking with a limp at the OTA's but I also read that he naturally walks with a limp. Anyone else hear this. I found this to be very strange. Don't have time to dig it up right now. If someone finds it please post.

From Darlington's Q/A:
Q: Hey Jeff... What is up with Merling? We know he had a sports hernia operated on, but what concerns me is he was supposedly limping noticibly at the mini camp, and he said "I always walk with a limp"????? I can't imagine the Dolphins drafting a guy so high who always walks with a limp....Is there anything more you can elaborate on in regards to his limp?

A: Nothing to worry about, Steve. I watched that conversation take place between Phillip and another reporter, and I didn't even see a reason to question the way he was walking at all. He appeared just fine -- and his comment back to the reporter was clearly a joke. A funny one, too.
