CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) -- The Miami Dolphins are getting thin at
center.
Starter Jake Grove left Thursday night's game against the
Carolina Panthers because of an ankle injury early in the third
quarter and was questionable to return. Then, backup Joe Berger
left with an unspecified injury early in the fourth for a series
before returning with about 5 minutes left in the period.
The Dolphins then moved Nate Garner to center after Garner had
started at left guard in place of Justin Smiley. Garner and
quarterback Chad Henne got off to a bumpy start with a botched
snap on their second play, forcing Henne to dive on the ground
to recover the fumble.
