DAVIE Andrew Van Ginkel white jersey , Fla. (AP) — NFL interception co-leader Xavien Howard returned to practice Wednesday for the Miami Dolphins after missing two games because of a left knee injury.Howard said he’s hopeful but uncertain whether he’ll be able to play Sunday against Jacksonville.“I feel great,” he said. “Just trying to see at the end of the week how it’s going to go.”The third-year cornerback was chosen for the Pro Bowl for the first time Tuesday, to the delight of his friends and family.“Man, I got so many calls and text messages it has been crazy,” he said.Coach Adam Gase said he was happy for Howard, but disappointed left tackle Laremy Tunsil didn’t make the Pro Bowl.“I think he’s the best tackle in football,” Gase said.While the Dolphins got Howard back on the practice field Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , running back Frank Gore went on injured reserve because of a season-ending sprained foot. Defensive tackle Kendrick Norton was signed to take Gore’s roster spot.Gore, hurt in Sunday’s loss at Minnesota, leads the Dolphins with 722 yards rushing. He’s the NFL’s fourth all-time leading rusher with 14,478 yards.The 35-year-old has played in 126 consecutive games and made 122 starts in a row, and both streaks are the longest by an NFL offensive skill player. As the NFL salary cap climbs higher and higher, NFL teams become more and more willing to carry significant dead money for specific players.This year alone, the Steelers will have former receiver Antonio Brown on the books for $21.12 million Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , and former Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will count for $16 million. Next year, if Saints quarterback Drew Brees moves on, he’ll leave behind $21.3 million under the cap.Former Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has joined this not-so-exclusive club. The remainder of his signing bonus and a can-kicking restructuring bonus already meant that he’d count for $13.423 million this year, if released without a post-June 1 designation. The curious decision of the Dolphins to pay $5 million of his salary in order to get a seventh-round pick and a future fourth-round pick for Tannehill and a sixth-round pick increases the cap charge to a whopping $18.423 million.Of course, keeping Tannehill would have cost $26.611 million under the cap, and $18.725 million in cash. So the Dolphins created $8.188 million in cap space, spent $5 million to do it Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey nfl draft , and picked up a fourth-round pick next year while flip-flopping 2019 sixth- and seventh-round picks with the Titans.While some are skewing reality to heap false praise on the Dolphins for doing something good, the bottom line is that the Dolphins were trying to make chicken salad. To do so, they crafted a convoluted recipe that had them essentially buying not quite a fourth-round pick in 2020 for $5 million, and pushing the dead cap money that will apply to Tannehill to nearly 10 percent of the entire 2019 salary cap.
