Busy week awaits Dolphins with Roster Moves

By now you might of heard the news of Jason Ferguson going to IR. Omar Kelly Sun-Sentinel reporter reports that the Fins will be placing Jason Ferguson on IR according to source. A huge crushing blow nontheless, but it will be the first of a series of roster move Miami makes during their 10 day break. The second move the Fins make is filling Big Ferg's spot. It is gonna be interesting to see who they choose to bring in. Will Miami sign someone or elevate a player from their PS, like they have done with Nate Ness & Kory Sperry. Sperry has started two games with Miami and has become a possible success story.

The Fins have an open Practice Squad spot after signing Nate Ness to the active roster a spot I think they will fill and must. Also if Miami chooses to elevate a player from their PS to fill Ferg's spot they now have two open spots on their PS, both must be filled. In total, we are are talking about four roster Miami will make during their break.

After thinking about the possible moves Miami might make and knowing they could bring players from their PS up to the active roster, I wanted to see what our PS roster looked like. So I did some research and found the answer to my question. Hopefully this helps alot of you, who like me are interested in knowing.

Here is your current 2009 Practice Squad Roster:

90 Ryan Baker DE

27 Will Billingsley CB

20 Tristan Davis RB

59 J. D. Folsom ILB

60 Andrew Hartline G/T

86 John Nalbone TE

11 Julius Pruitt WR

Open Spot

Those are all seven players who are currently on the PS. There is an open spot to be filled and there could be two if Miami decides to elevate someone from their PS, if rumors are true of Jason Ferguson going to IR . Miami will be making atleast three roster moves in the coming days and when all is done four moves could have been made during the week by Miami.

The Fins are known for their ability to find success in UDFA, FA and players who have come from other teams Practice squads. Carpenter, Bess, Sperry, Polite, Haynos & Garner all at one point have either been an UDFA, a FA or Practice Squad player playing from an opposing team. It will be an interesting week.

I would

like to see Baker activated from the PS. Considering Mcdanial goes into the NT rotation with Soloria(assuming he is healthy or if not then Starks goes to the starting NT position). Since Mcdanial is part of the DE rotation it would most likely mean Dotson gets active on game days and Baker inactive shrugs UNLESS they have their eye on another team’s PS and snatches a “gamer” off of it :)

I thought about Baker as well, but they should be getting Soliai back. He has had more than 3 weeks to recover now. Dotson will be activated now. Assuming Soliai starts you could see McDaniel back him up. There is room for Baker, but if he is just gonna be inactive I rather us try to get a player we can play.

We also have to think they will give some UFL players a look. The championship game is this friday and Haslet said on Mike and Mike players are allowed to sign as soon as the championship game is over with NFL team.

Then there is the possibility of a FA.

Zach Thomas: I played against New England twice a year every year my whole career. I learned to not like that team. I wasn't going to join them.
