Miami's performance on the ground in last week's convincing 35-13 win over the Oakland Raiders was the dream of every NFL running back as the team rushed for 263 yards on 43 carriers. Unfortunately for Daniel Thomas, he was not a part of it. After suffering a concussion in the season opener against the Houston Texans, Thomas was forced to watch from the sidelines as his teammates ripped off one huge run after another.

A now healty Daniel Thomas expects to return for this Sunday's anticpated divisional matchup against the New York Jets, however he finds himself in a similar situation from a year ago. In 2011, Thomas had a promising start to the season until being hampered by a hamstring injury midway through. His absence provided Reggie Bush with the opportunity to take control o...

The Miami Dolphins have released defensive tackle Ryan Baker, ending his four-year on-again, off-again relationship with the team a week after he was re-signed.
Baker, who has been with the Dolphins since 2009, got re-signed last week because Miami was trying to compensate for Tony McDaniel's knee injury, which will likely sideline the key reserve a few weeks.
