Ronnie Brown to play on Thursday night

by Matty I on Aug 26, 2008 9:13 PM EDT in 2012 Miami Dolphins News

Good news for all Dolphin fans: Ronnie Brown isn't wearing his cast anymore. In fact, Ronnie has been practicing without the cast since Monday. And Tony Sparano is saying that Brown will indeed play on Thursday night in the preseason finale against the Saints. Says Sparano:

"We're just going to take him out there, go through pre-game warm-ups, do those kinds of things, and then I'd like to try to play him. And we'll see whether or not we can get some carries."

Now Brown claimed immediately after the game in Jacksonville that he would have been able to remain in the game if it was the regular season. In fact, when asked after that game if he could have stayed in, he replied emphatically by saying, "Ain't no question."

Last week, while sitting out of practice to protect the thumb, Brown was able to get in some more rehab on his knee - continuing to strengthen it up.

Now we'll hopefully get to see Ronnie get some more game action on Thursday in New Orleans.

WTF???

A Ronnie Brown sighting? What odds he tears an ACL stepping off the team bus or breaks his arm signing an autograph…

as good as

ricky is playing, we cant count on him to carrier the load. this league is a 2 rb league and there are very few teams that have one back. we need the 2 headed monster in the back field. i hope he is 100% by mid season. finish strong and be ready to make a playoff run in 2009!

RBs

MattI: I hope that the Dolphins can get a good big RB off the waiver wire this next week and drop Cobbs. I know Cobbs is a good ST player but, I am really afraid that Ronnie will go down again this year. He has always been out with injury every year,and I don’t think this year will be any different. We have Parmele to back up Ricky but, I don’t think Cobbs is the RB you want to take the load if Ronnie goes down again? What’s your take?

Don't forget...

Jalen Parmele who seems to be impressing the coaches. He’s never going to be a Ricky or a Ronnie but if we should lose one of them this year… Well, forget that thought – we aren’t gonna get that unlucky twice… are we?
