DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Miami Dolphins guards Nate Garner and rookie John Jerry are the latest players to succumb to injury in training camp.
Coach Tony Sparano confirms Garner had surgery last week on his left foot, the same one that was operated on in the offseason. Sparano doesn’t know how long Garner will be out.
Jerry was Miami’s third-round pick out of Mississippi State. At 6-foot-5, 328 pounds, Jerry was making a strong push to become the starting right guard. Near the end of Monday’s practice he pulled up with a sore right knee and did not finish the team drills. On Tuesday morning, he tried to push his way through again but had to cut things short.
Donald Thomas and Cory Procter will see more practice reps at the guard spots with Jerry out. Andrew Gardner and Lydon Murtha will pick up the workload in Garner’s absence.
