Good news: another short list this week.
CB Alan Ball Bicep DNP
C Luke Bowanko Ankle LP
DE Andre Branch Groin DNP
RB Toby Gerhart Foot LP
S Craig Loston Hamstring LP
Note: Aaron Colvin is still on the NFI list, but allowed to practice on a limited basis.
The Dolphins do not name the injured body part or region, so I have to look somewhere else for their report.

It might be a short list but I wouldnt call it good news. 3 of our top players on defense looking like they will be out. Poz, Ball, and Branch.

Poz does not count because he is on IR. Branch is in the defensive end rotation, not a starter. And we all know Toby Gerhart probably is going to be a backup anyway.

Poz dont count? Just because he is on IR doesnt mean the team wont miss him, he does count on this defense. He hasnt had that good of a year but he played good last week and hopefully JT can put our D players in the right position if one of them gets out of where they need to be. Also just because Branch is not a starter doesnt mean it couldnt hurt our pass rush a little, if you actually watched the Jags you would know Poz and Branch both out could hurt us some on D. Hopefully Davis provides the pass rush we need and JT plays solid but we have to wait and see.

If you want to count Poz, you should count every player on IR. Nobody ever counted Marcedes Lewis after Week 2.

Its all adds up
As much as losing Poz for the year and losing Branch for several weeks hurts, what may hurt even more this week is losing Alan Ball. Alan has easily been our best CB the past few weeks, and it's probably wishful thinking to expect Gratz to play as well.
On the bright side, Gerhart is back. While Denard should start, the two of them are completely different kinds of RBs who together could give the Jaguars a real one-two punch if the OL keeps playing like the did last week.
As for Marcedes, he's on IR but he was listed as able to return so he might be back around the same time as Branch. Colvin should be going strong at CB by then as well. If the Jaguars stay healthy they could turn into a true spoiler come December.
Alright Gratzy.... Show us why you were a 3rd round pick
Everyone practiced for Miami. Best shape health wise for the season.
Dolphins looking healthy. Im sad Branch will miss some games and it will be weird not hearing Poz name sunday.... I hope our Def can step up without them.

Alan Ball may be our best cornerback, but Posluszny is a team captain and quarterback for the defense, not just another linebacker.
I think our plan for Aaron Colvin is to let him start practicing a week before moving him to the active roster. He is not eligible to play yet.
Toby Gerhart is more like a situational running back. As long as he has foot problems, he will not be a good compelement for Denard Robinson.
Marcedes Lewis will get back before Andre Branch.

It will be weird not hearing Branch's name either. I am confident the defensive line will be OK without him, but very concerned about them missing Poz.
