Miami Dolphins left tackle Jake Long returned to practice on Wednesday, working with the starting offensive line for the first time in more than a week.
Long, who is nursing a sore left knee, sat out the past three practices after undergoing an MRI on a knee injury that's been lingering from the Sept. 2 exhibition finale against Dallas Cowboys.
Long, the first pick of the 2008 draft, has played every game of his three-year career, and it appears that streak won't end unless he suffers a setback before Sunday's 1 p.m. game against Green Bay.
The Dolphins will need his stabilizing presence considering the Packers, which have generated 21 sacks, are ranked second in the league in bringing down quarterbacks.
Also participating in Wednesday's practice is defensive end Jared Odrick, who has been sidelined four weeks with a broken right fibula, right guard John Jerry, who has missed two games with an undisclosed illness, and inside linebacker Channing Crowder, who has been nursing a groin strain for two months.
It's possible all three starters could return to action on Sunday if their participation during this week's practices aren't limited.
Win, Lose, or Tie, I will be a Dolphins Fan Until I Die:up:
cobrajetNew MemberJake Long is one of my "all time" favorite Dolphins. This guy is an old fashioned, blue collar, work horse who comes to work everyday, keeps his mouth shut and just does a great job. We are a far better team with him than without him. I am glad that he is back where he belongs.

Give me 1 Jake Long fullback lead...I dare you.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
