Dolphins' Jerry not phased by TV depiction
DAVIE, Fla. Entering Tuesday, John Jerry was a pretty obscure guy. Perhaps his biggest claim to fame was for three straight Ole Miss training camps having shared a dorm room with Michael Oher, the Baltimore Ravens tackle whose life story was made into the movie The Blind Side.

Dolphins’ John Jerry out of shape, unlikely to make roster

They also signed Eric Steinbach, heading into his age 32...
Todd Bowles praises John Jerry after first-ever start at left tackle

Asking second-year guard John Jerry, who hadn’t even played the position outside of some snaps in practice, to protect Matt Moore’s blind side at Buffalo Sunday seemed an almost unreasonable request by the Dolphins’ coaching staff.

Miami Dolphins: Guard John Jerry working with first-team
DAVIE — Once again, guard Vernon Carey (ankle) was held out of practice today.
That was expected. What may not have been as expected is backup John Jerry working with the first-team instead of Nate Garner. That was the case Friday despite Garner replacing Carey when he was injured last week against the Dallas Cowboys.
Looks like the Dolphins are planning to use this opportunity...
