Miami Dolphin Injuries Are Piling Up: Kory Sheets Is Out For The Season

Just a day after the Miami Dolphins lost LB A.J. Edds, they also lost RB Kory Sheets.

While Sheets was a backup, I believe that he had a lot of potential. Some people disagree with me on that, but I really did think that he could have done pretty well this year.

Oh well, we will have to wait another year to see how he does, but that is if Miami even decides to keep him. He was also a contender for the kick return position, so who knows how he could have done with that.

The injury was a torn achilles tendon and he will be out for the season. It is a shame to see to players out for the season in back-to-back days of training camp. Let's hope Miami can stay relatively injury free for the rest of the year.

How about you? Do you think the Miami Dolphins will keep Kory Sheets for next year?

The Miami Dolphins Lose LB A.J. Edds For The Season, But Bring In Someone To Replace Him Quickly

Miami Dolphins rookie Linebacker A.J. Edds has sustained a torn ACL, and will be out for the season. Edds was a fourth round draft pick for Miami, who drafted him to help in pass coverage.

It is a shame that Miami lost Edds, because he was very good at pass coverage. Miami's passing defense was awful last season, and the Dolphins organization has been doing what it could to build a defense that is better at pass coverage. Edds was part of that, but he is gone now.

Miami was obviously not going to dwell on the loss, though. They went and immediately signed undrafted linebacker Micah Johnson.

Johnson is a big and strong player who is very athletic. He is also very good at coverage, so while Miami lost a coverage LB, they still gained one. Granted, Johnson may not be as good as Edds was at this moment, but he still has a lot of potential.

One thing that Johnson does have over Edds is athleticism and strength. Johnson is a beast. For proof just look at the picture to the right.

It is still not certain which LBs will make the team. Johnson would be an Inside-Linebacker if he does make it. While I am not sure Johnson's chances right now, I am just glad that Miami added depth to the ILB so quickly. That will help assure that you have the best chance to be successful.

That's all for now. Be sure to check back soon for more on the greatest team on earth.
