John Nalbone News

The Miami Dolphins re-signed J. D. Folsom to their eight-man practice squad Saturday, one day after waiving the rookie linebacker.

His hands played a role in the Dolphins' victory, snatching three Chad Henne passes.

With starting tight end Anthony Fasano questionable for this week's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tomorrow, the Miami Dolphins have promoted tight end Kory Sperry from the practice squad to the active roster.

The Miami Dolphins re-signed tight end John Nalbone to the practice squad as expected Tuesday, three days after waiving the rookie to make room for linebacker Matt Roth on the active roster.

Things keep looking up for Dolphins receiver Ted Ginn Jr. On the same day he was named the AFC's special teams player of the week for his pair of 100-yard touchdown returns, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said Ginn won't be only a kick returner and occasional receiver.

The Miami Dolphins official Web site reports LB Channing Crowder did not travel with the team for Sunday's game against the New York Jets and is listed as out.

Ted Ginn Jr. has been demoted after all. Miami Dolphins rookie Brian Hartline will replace his fellow Ohio State product as one starting wide receiver, according to the official changes announced before today's 1 p.m. game at the New York Jets .

The long, strange journey of Miami Dolphins linebacker Matt Roth is about to take its next logical step.

Welcome to the game-day roster, Chris Clemons . Not only did the rookie safety out of Clemson get a boost from his alma mater's overtime upset of the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, Clemons has finally made his way onto the Miami Dolphins ' 45-man roster for today's home matchup against high-powered New Orleans.

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano likes to be a man of mystery. His coy nature really comes to the forefront in two instances.

Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter was limited in practice last week because of a hamstring injury, but will be in the starting lineup against the Jets.

The Jets will be without CBs Lito Sheppard and Donald Strickland , along with QB Erik Ainge, CB Ahmad Carroll, LB Jamaal Westerman, OL Matt Slauson and DE Ropati Rtoitua.

Another reason to dislike the Jets: I'm driving south on I-95 at 5:30 and suddenly the traffic just stopped cold, parking-lot style.

The Dolphins will be without Pro Bowl linebacker and leading pass rusher Joey Porter, who is inactive with a sore right hamstring.

Cameron Wake has finally made it to the active roster for the Miami Dolphins . Wake, the most expensive Canadian Football League import in NFL history, was inactive through the first two weeks but has replaced fellow outside linebacker Erik Walden on the Dolphins' 45-man active list for today's 4:15 p.m. game against the San Diego Chargers .

Miami Dolphins practice squad tight end Kory Sperry has become extremely popular this week.

I'm already here and it's still two-and-half hours before kickoff. And I'm watching Jake Long, Justin Smiley and Jake Grove already on the field working on their passprotection stances.

Rookie quarterback Pat White was listed as the Miami Dolphins' backup quarterback for Monday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tight end David Martin has undergone surgery to repair "loose cartilage," inside one of his knees and is expected to be healthy in 6 to 8 weeks, according to his agent, Terry Williams.

Pat White made the cut after all. White, the rookie quarterback from West Virginia, was listed on the 45-man active roster the Miami Dolphins announced about an hour before their season-opening game against the Atlanta Falcons.
