The once written-off Miami Dolphins moved back into the NFL playoff picture with a 24-17 win over the Carolina Panters on Thursday. A day after learning Ronnie Brown is lost for the season, the Dolphins continued their recent surge after an 0-3 start behind 32-year-old Ricky Williams, who rushed for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns.
He may be 32, but Ricky Williams is far from done. And even without Ronnie Brown, the once written-off Miami Dolphins are back in the playoff picture.

MIAMI - Ronnie Brown's season has ended with an injury - again.
Ronnie Brown's season has ended with an injury -- again. The Miami Dolphins' leading rusher was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of a right foot injury suffered in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay. A fifth-year pro, Brown missed the final nine games of the 2007 season with a right knee injury.
Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano and assistant David Lee get plenty of credit for making the wildcat a much-copied NFL sensation.
DAVIE, Fla. - Miami Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano has been ruled out of Thursday night's game at Charlotte because of a hip injury.
At the end of September, the Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers already were being written off. Both were 0-3 and their 2008 division titles were being termed flukes.
Miami coach Tony Sparano and assistant David Lee get plenty of credit for making the wildcat a much-copied NFL sensation. Offensive coordinator Dan Henning had little trouble making it work -- perhaps because he first used direct snaps to running backs when directing Carolina's offense in 2006. It's a story that's often forgotten when t
DAVIE, Fla. - Ronnie Brown remains on crutches 24 hours after hurting his right foot.
Ronnie Brown stuck his head through the entrance of the Miami Dolphins dressing room Monday, tossed a pair of shoes toward his locker and disappeared. His arm is fine. His foot, not so good. The Dolphins' leading rusher and wildcat triggerman remained on crutches 24 hours after hurting his right foot during the Dolphins' 25-23 win over Tamp
The injury reports from today's games read like a who's who of recent NFL standouts.
Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown was on crutches following his team's victory Sunday against Tampa Bay, and it's unclear how long he'll have them. Brown hurt his right ankle in the third quarter, limped off the field assisted by teammates and later hobbled to the locker room, where he watched the end of Miami's 25-23 win.
Guard Justin Smiley and tight end Anthony Fasano were inactive Sunday for the Miami Dolphins' game against Tampa Bay. Smiley missed practice this week with a shoulder injury. Fasano has been bothered by a sore hip. Reserve defensive linemen Paul Soliai (ankle) and linebacker Joey Porter (coach's decision) were also inactive.
Joey Porter won't be making any tackles this week, either. Less than 24 hours before kickoff, the Miami Dolphins' outspoken linebacker was ruled out of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay because of a coach's decision. The Dolphins didn't give any information about the reason for the move Saturday by coach Tony Sparano.

DAVIE, Fla. - Halfway through the season, the Miami Dolphins have already matched last year's loss total. Taxed by a tough schedule, they're three games behind AFC East leader New England and winless outside their division.

The Miami Dolphins had just spent more than 10 minutes marching to a wildcat touchdown when Randy Moss used one stiff-arm to wipe out their lead. Moss sped to a 71-yard touchdown after grabbing a short pass over the middle and shoving rookie cornerback Vontae Davis out of his way as the New England Patriots tightened their grip on the AFC East with
