Miami Dolphins' Ronnie Brown to miss rest of season

[JonLP24]

Just before Miami's plane left South Florida for Charlotte, the team made the crushing decision to place its best player on the injured reserve. Running back Ronnie Brown is done for the year, according to team sources.

In a season that has already dealt with its share of deflating news, this one surely tops them all. Brown, who was on pace to set a career-high in rushing yards this year, was having his best season as a pro.

Now, there's even reason to wonder whether Brown might have played his last game with the Dolphins. Depending how the league's collective bargaining agreement shakes out, Brown could become a free agent at the end of this season.

But before Miami worries about the long term, it must first deal with the short-term repercussions. During their most successful times, the Dolphins have relied on Brown's battering ability on the ground -- both in the base offense and out of the Wildcat.

Isn't he on your fantasy team?

2. Yes. That's how I found out

I already had him benched for Thursday but was checking his status daily and that's where I found out. Now I'm trying to figure out who to get but Ronnie Brown was my 2nd most productive fantasy player.

3. Hey---Ricky's averaging 5.5 yards per carry

and is having a heck of a season...

Don't be surprised if kicks ass the rest of the season.

4. I'm sure he will

He's good enough to start for a lot of teams so this isn't too bad of a setback.

As far as my ff team - that's another story. :)
