The Miami Dolphins' Jake Long is feeling better than he has in a while, the Pro Bowl left tackle told the team's official website recently. "I feel great," said Long, who went on injured reserve in December after battling a back injury and a torn right biceps. "This is the healthiest I've felt in a long time. All healed up, working out 100 percent, ready to go." Despite starting 62 consecutive games at one point, Long missed the 2011 preseason with a knee injury and underwent offseason shoulder surgery after the 2010 season. Long, who was made the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft by the Dolphins, has made the Pro Bowl four times, once for every season that he's been in the league.
