The rebirth that the Miami Dolphins are experiencing this season may have to continue without running back Ronnie Brown, at least for now. Brown had to have a surgical intervention on Friday to stabilize a broken left hand. So far nobody has revealed any timeframe in which the Dolphins will be playing without Brown, all we know is that the team's left handed leading rusher and No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 draft will be "evaluated on an ongoing basis".
Brown suffered the injury on Thursday as Miami won its fourth straight game, beating Detroit 27-10 and climbing within two games of the AFC's wild-card slots. If Brown cannot play on December 3rd when Miami plays at home against Jacksonville, then Sammy Morris will likely get the start in his place.
Morris already had 91 yards on 12 carries; all after Brown got hurt in the third quarter against the Lions. If someone goes out, the next guy has to step up and fill their shoes no matter how big and Morris did a good job on that first attempt. It is all part of football, injuries are a big part of it, and again, the players have to make the most of it when their number is called.
Morris' highlight was a career-long 55-yard run, 20 yards longer than any other in his career, and he matched a career best in yards rushing. Every player has to have a lot of confidence, and for them to come in and be able to break a big run like that Morris did on Thursday, it had to be big for him and for the offense. Big breaks like that are what give the players future starting roles.
