Dolphins CB Richard Marshall Struggling With His Back Injury

Dolphins cornerback Richard Marshall is certain he's letting his team and his teammates down, but he openly admits he has no choice. The Dolphins starting cornerback has missed the past three games because of a back injury that surfaced in mid-September. The pain has lingered for a month and there is no clear timetable on when he'll fully recover. "Stressful. That's the only word you can use to describe it," said Marshall, whom the Dolphins signed this offseason to a three-year, $16 million contract. "I can't practice, even if I wanted to. I can do certain things, but I can't do everything that I need to do to be out there." Marshall, who won the starting spot opposite Sean Smith in training camp, has been receiving around the clock treatment to help the alleviate the pain. But the recovery process is taking longer than Marshall and the team first thought. Source: Sun-Sentinel Attached Thumbnails
