DAVIE, Fla. Antonio Gates Womens Jersey . —Quarterback
David Garrard signed with the Miami Dolphins in March, climbed to No. 1 on the
depth chart a month ago and now wonders whether hell still be on the roster at
the end of this week. Garrard somewhat gingerly returned to practice Monday,
three weeks after he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery that forced him to miss
the entire exhibition season. The veteran is one of four quarterbacks on the
roster, stirring speculation hell be released or traded. Garrard said Dolphins
officials have given him no hints regarding their plans. “I honestly dont even
know whats going on,” he said. “There are still enough teams in this league to
play for if it is not here. But Im excited about here. Im excited about being on
this team, and hopefully Ill still be here.” Rookie Ryan Tannehill will start
Sundays opener at Houston. The Dolphins other quarterbacks are Matt Moore, who
started their final 12 games last year, and Pat Devlin, a second-year pro who
has showed promise but has yet to take a snap in a game. The Dolphins may decide
against keeping Garrard a backup because of his $2.25 million salary—
guaranteed if hes on the roster for the opener—and uncertainty about his left
knee. He conceded hes not yet 100 per cent. “Im still trying to get my strength
back in that leg, which is what Im really fighting through right now,” he said.
“Im just trying to be smart, as smart as I can without delaying myself too much.
But Im not going to force myself to do anything to hurt myself for the long run,
if its here or somewhere else.” Also nursing a sore knee was Pro Bowl tackle
Jake Long, who has been sidelined for the past week and again sat out practice.
His status for the opener is uncertain. Following a flurry of moves to reach the
regular-season roster limit, the Dolphins have 11 rookies—four undrafted—
and eight other newcomers among their 53 players. The newcomers include four
players who practiced Monday for the first time since being acquired off waivers
—receiver Anthony Armstrong, safety Troy Nolan, cornerback R.J. Stanford and
linebacker Sammy Brown. “Theyre swimming a little bit,” coach Joe Philbin said.
“Im sure theyre not practicing at the speed they hopefully will, due to the
mental things that are going on.” Armstrong had 44 catches for 871 yards for the
Washington Redskins in 2010, and the Dolphins hope he can provide the deep
threat that has been missing in their receiving corps. “They told me they
brought me here to play,” he said. “Ive just got to learn the offence, get
caught up to speed and be able to get on the same page as Tannehill and those
guys.” After his breakthrough year in 2010, Armstrong played much less last
season, when he made only seven receptions for Washington. “Thats not the type
of receiver I am,” he said. “Im more focused on the guy that I was in 2010.”
Davone Bess and Legedu Naanee will likely get the most snaps among the wideouts
in the opener. Veteran Brian Hartline returned to practice Friday but is behind
because he missed the entire exhibition season with a calf injury. Even with
running back Reggie Bush projected as a frequent target, offensive co-ordinator
Mike Sherman conceded pass-catching has been worrisome so far. “Its a work in
progress, and will continue to be until we have solved that problem,” Sherman
said. “I wouldnt say it has been solved. We had an addition with Armstrong, but
it has got to get better for us to be successful.” Malcom Floyd Jersey . —Former USAC champion

reached the turn in 29 and finished his first round with 10 birdies and an eagle
for a course record at the Amata Spring Country Club. “Ive never shot a 60
before,” Westwood said.RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil—Thailands Pornanong Phatlum and
Frances Karine Icher each 7-under 66 on Saturday to share the first-round lead
in the LPGA Tours 36-hole Brazil Cup exhibition event. American Katie Futcher
was a shot behind at Itanhanga Golf Club, and Norways Suzann Pettersen matched
Brittany Lang and Candie Kung at 68. Paula Creamer and Christina Kim shot 69.
Phatlum and Icher each had eight birdies and a bogey. “My approach shots and
putting were very good today,” Phatlum said. “I think I just have to play and
focus on my game,” Pornanong said. “I just need to have fun tomorrow.” Icher was
third last week in the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic. “My putting was good,” Icher
said. “At the beginning, the greens were hardd to read and slow, too. Eric Weddle Jersey. I had many opportunities
at the beginning and I just made one birdie on No. 2 and then par, par, par,
par. I was close to the hole, but then I made birdies on eight and nine. It was
a good round, a good sensation. I love that course. Its just flat and enjoyable,
so it was cool.” Pettersen had even par on the back nine with two birdies and
two bogeys. “It was disappointing not to get to 7 under,” Pettersen. “Before I
got to the back (nine), I didnt really see anyones scores. I thought I was doing
pretty good until I saw there were a lot of other birdies out there. Its
definitely out there. The weather is going to be like this tomorrow and the
greens are really soft. Its like throwing darts.” ’ ’ ’
