Rodrique

Wright

Rodrique Wright, who was active for the first time all season Sunday, is likely to replace him in the starting lineup. Holliday is an integral part of the Dolphins’ pass rush in both their 4-3 and 3-4 fronts, so it’s a big loss.

Holliday missed four games after fracturing his right ankle and will test it out in full pads during Wednesday’s practice. Fellow lineman Rodrique Wright would continue to start if Holliday were to suffer a setback.

Kershaw has bounced around the league for the past few seasons; he’s a practice body. The Dolphins also cut ties with DE Rodrique Wright, WR Brandon London, and S Courtney Bryan.

It kills his IDP potential, but Merling is well suited to be a stout, blocker occupying run-plugger in a 3-4. He will battle Rodrique Wright and Matt Roth to start at right end. Roth is the incumbent there and likely the favorite.

Wright was out of football in 2009 after failing to make the Dolphins’ roster. At 6'5/300, Wright has enough size to play defensive end in the Jets’ 3-4, but the once highly regarded Texas Longhorn has never met expectations.

We all found out why Wright, a stud at Texas, fell so far in the draft; he had a torn rotator cuff. He had surgery in May and could miss the season.

Wright should be a contributor in time, but it won’t be in 2006. He’s on PUP and expected to miss his rookie season with a torn rotator cuff.

The former Texas Longhorn will miss the season with a torn rotator cuff. Miami also placed WR Eric Kimble on Reserve/PUP.

Wright (torn rotator cuff) played end in his brief return to practice the last two weeks. With Fred Evans, Kevin Vickerson, and maybe Manny Wright around behind Keith Traylor and Vonnie Holliday, Rodrique may have a hard time making next year’s club if he doesn’t pick up the new position.
