Arian Foster hasn’t been a Dolphin long, but he’s going to get plenty of work during camp. According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi is being held out of practice today because of a knee injury. There’s no word yet on the severity of the problem, but Ajayi’s own history will make people raise their eyebrows. He had knee problems in college, and there were rumors of concern before he was drafted. But while those might have been overblown during the pre-draft lying season, it will become a reference point now. The Dolphins are curious about how the position will develop, as they hoped to use both Foster and Ajayi. But there are legitimate concerns about how much they’ll be able to stay on the field, so it might take care of itself over time.
yup, just a bone bruise, will miss a few practices only. and it's to his other knee (not the one with the pre draft history).
I haven't been comfortable with Ajayi as our go to running back since Lamar Miller left....Kinda just "Meh" on J.A. I haven't actually expressed that a whole lot, but the injury history with J.A is a major concern for me personally. Hopefully this is nothing to worry about, but I certainly am not counting on him to carry the load for us this year. I actually think Kenyon Drake will end up being our best running back this season. Although....that would be some awesome craziness if Arian Foster stayed healthy all year and had a Chris Johnson (last year Cardinals) type season with us (minus injuries).
Next man up...I saw Drake this weekend, and he possesses football speed. Don't sleep on him. Didn't he proclaim to the best back in the draft? Gotta love the confidence, it must be a Bama thing http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/05/kenyan_drake_says_miami_dolphi.html
