Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder ‘dinged up’

Linebacker Channing Crowder spent Wednesday’s practice on the sidelines, doing exercises for the shoulder he injured in Sunday’s loss to New Orleans.

“Just dinged up a little bit,” Crowder said. “Shoulder’s sore, so they said to sit out and try to get back right. See what [coach] Tony [Sparano] has to say. He deals with injury stuff. I hate missing games. I wanted to practice [Wednesday,] to be honest.

“Tony had to talk me out of it.”

Though Crowder has been short on impact plays — only two forced fumbles, one fumble recovered and zero interceptions since the start of the 2006 season — his impact on a defense is glaring when he’s gone. In the past five games he has missed, the Dolphins defense has allowed an average of 27.4 points, 168.0 rushing yards and 403.8 yards of offense.

Miami Dolphins reopen competition at wide receiver

The deck has been shuffled. Now, it’s time for the aces and the jokers to separate themselves in the most objective way possible — during practice.

In a move that could cause a considerable shake up at the wide receiver position, coach Tony Sparano sent a clear message to his corps of pass catchers Wednesday when he essentially reopened the competition for the team’s starting spots.

“Just making sure everyone is on their toes,” Sparano said.

Most notably, wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. did not work with the first- or second-team offense during the initial 30 minutes of practice that is open to the media. Those limited snaps were assigned to Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo and rookie Brian Hartline.

Miami Dolphins WR Ted Ginn must fight for his starting job

Struggling wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. has been thrown into a five-man competition for his starting job, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said Wednesday.

Asked specifically if Ginn had been demoted to second string, Sparano initially said “no,” but then made it clear anything is possible by the time the Dolphins play the Jets on Sunday in New Jersey.

“We’ll see where we are at the end of the week,” Sparano said. “Right now I’m just trying to upset the whole apple cart and let’s so how this thing goes. I don’t want to say yes, I don’t want to say no right now.”

Ginn has been held to five receptions for 77 yards the past four games, but 53 of those yards came on one touchdown catch in the fourth quarter of the Oct. 12 home win over the Jets. Ginn had at least two more dropped passes in Sunday’s loss to New Orleans, including a bobble that was returned 42 yards for a touchdown by Saints safety Darren Sharper early in the second half.

Dolphins LB Roth rejoins practice

Miami Dolphins linebacker Matt Roth has returned to practice after missing the first five games of the season because of a groin injury.

Roth joined Wednesday’s workout in preparation for Sunday’s game against the unbeaten New Orleans Saints. It’s uncertain whether he’ll be activated this week.

Roth had been sidelined since the start of training camp and spent the first six weeks of the regular season on the reserve-non-football injury list. He returns as a reserve after losing his starting job to Jason Taylor.
