DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter and guard Justin Smiley are sidelined with injuries as the team begins preparations to play Tampa Bay.
Porter and Smiley worked out on stationary bikes while the team practiced Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Buccaneers. They were joined by nose tackle Paul Soliai and linebacker Erik Walden, both reserves.
Porter has been nursing a right hamstring injury for much of the season and also has a sore knee. Coach Tony Sparano said Smiley has a shoulder injury, Soliai is slowed by a sore ankle and Walden has a hamstring injury.
Linebacker Channing Crowder (left shoulder) and nose tackle Jason Ferguson (elbow) were back at practice after missing Sunday’s loss at New England.
