"If I don't see a whole lot more Ronnie, then Ricky will start." |
| August 23, 2008 Coach Tony Sparano believes that Ronnie Brown's workload could be compromised early in the season by his sprained thumb, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

| August 19, 2008 Amid reports that he could be moved, the Miami Dolphins have made it clear they are not trading running back Ronnie Brown, according to the Palm Beach Post. "No chance that we're trading Ronnie," Miami head coach Tony Sparano said. |
| August 18, 2008 ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on Monday Night Countdown that Ricky Williams has looked so good that the Dolphins may consider getting rid of Ronnie Brown, but Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald doesn't buy it. He admits that Williams has been the Dolphins' best back this offseason, but he doesn't think the team would put all their eggs in Williams' basket and also notes that the Fins are unlikely to get fair value for Brown given that he's coming off of ACL surgery. |

| August 15, 2008 Coach Tony Sparano is yet to choose his starting running back between Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, according to the Miami Herald. He has a good understanding as to what both backs can accomplish in games, but has not determined which is better suited to be the starter. Sparano said, "Who comes into the game warm or who needs to start the game to be warm is kind of an issue. Last week, Ronnie started the game, we got him touches early in the game, but there's Ricky kind of chomping at the bit to get in, and I wasn't sure how he would enter." |
| August 10, 2008 Ronnie Brown, who was a game-time decision, saw some action in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, according to the Miami Herald. He only rushed for four yards on three carries, but was viewed as a positive outing for him in his progress from reconstructive knee surgery. He said, "It's kind of weird. I felt good throughout camp and just coming in today, every now and then I got a little soreness. I expected a little bit of that during the game, but coming out I felt really good. I was surprised. It's kind of like, 'Hold on. Where the soreness at?" |
| August 7, 2008 Ronnie Brown will be a game-time decision for Saturday's exhibition game against Tampa Bay, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Brown said, "It's been a while since I've been on the field in a game situation, so I'm excited to be out there and have an opportunity to play against another team. We have to see how it feels come Saturday and call it from there . Obviously I have to keep everything in perspective and not get too excited about being out there." |
| August 6, 2008 Ronnie Brown has been practicing in full-contact drills without limitations through the first two weeks of training camp, and noted Tuesday that his knee and body are responding well, according to the Miami Herald. He said, "It was real big over this past week and a half to come in and sort of get over the mental aspect of physical contact. But when I'm in there, I do have to keep everything in perspective and realize that this is a preseason game. We have a long season, at least 16 games. But at the same time, you have to get work in." |
| August 3, 2008 Miami rusher Ronnie Brown spoke with reporters on Saturday and indicates he feels his physical hurdles, returning from season-ending knee surgery, have been cleared and all that remains are mental adjustments to life back on the field, according to the Miami Herald. ''Physically, I put in all the work, but from a mental aspect it may take some time just to be out here, being a part of practice and taking those licks where you're not thinking about it,'' Brown said after Saturday's scrimmage. ``Being in situations where we do have some contact stuff, going through drills and running the ball where I have that contact, it's going to help me over the next few weeks to get over the mental part of not being hit for a while -- since what, Week 7 [of last season].'' |
| July 28, 2008 Ronnie Brown has been participating in all of the Dolphins' practices so far according to the Sun-Sentinel. Coach Tony Sparano doesn't think his running back has been favoring the surgically repaired knee. Sparano said, "I really didn't notice it out here. I think maybe just a little bit stiff. Those type of things. I didn't notice it that way. We got him out there. We got him involved, tried to get him going early that way during the course of practice. Again, you know, with Ronnie, I'm sure it's going to be a little bit of a slow process here. We got three solid practices out of him and then he came out here today. It was a little stiff. We got the fourth solid practice out of him. I think Ronnie will be fine. It's going to take us a little bit time to get to where we need to be." |
| July 23, 2008 Ronnie Brown says his surgically repaired right knee feels strong, but the Dolphins still intend to remain cautious and ease him back in slowly, according to the Sun-Sentinel. New head coach Tony Sparano said he will "sprinkle" Brown into contact work during training camp, which opens Saturday. |
| July 15, 2008 Ronnie Brown's rehab from a torn ACL is going well, and he should be back and ready to go for training camp, according to Sportsline.com. "It takes some time. The good news for me is that the rehab has gone really well," he said. |
| July 2, 2008 Ronnie Brown is getting a lot of advice from players around the league concerning his current rehab program, this according to the Miami Herald. Brown, who is optimistic he will be ready for the start of the season, is still working hard to return from an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury. ''Don't rush,'' said Edgerrin James. Ex-Broncos' running back Terrell Davis, an NFL Network analyst, said to take it slow. |
| June 12, 2008 Ronnie Brown has returned to 11-on-11 drills in practice for the first time in the off-season as he recovers from a torn ACL, according to the Sun Sentinel. Brown said, "It is a big step. It felt pretty good. The previous week I felt pretty good but I've been limited a little bit, just doing some individual drills and some other things. For the last few days I've been able to participate and it feels pretty good to be back out on the field." He reportedly looked sharp during the practice. |
| June 5, 2008 Ronnie Brown was held out of team drills during practice on Wednesday, but he reportedly remains on pace to return in September, according to the Sun Sentinel. He is recovering from a torn ACL. |
| June 4, 2008 Ronnie Brown is getting increased reps during the team OTA sessions, according to the Miami Herald. Coach Tony Sparano said, "Each one of these practices, he's been able to do a little bit more and that's good for us and good for Ronnie." |
| May 26, 2008 Ronnie Brown is recovering well from his knee injury, according to the Palm Beach Post. Coach Tony Sparano said, "I just know what I see, and what I see is that Ronnie is no different than Joey Porter, Vonnie Holliday and those people right now. From a training standpoint, he's done a wonderful job in the offseason program and really has done a great job with head athletic trainer Kevin O'Neill and his people here from a medical standpoint. He's out there, he's getting a little bit of work in right now and we're going to take it easy with him and see where it goes." |
| May 21, 2008 Ronnie Brown tested his surgically repaired knee during Wednesday's OTA, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Brown made sharp cuts on the knee, but he still has a long way to go before regaining his edge from 2007, when he racked up 991 total yards (with 39 receptions) prior to going down after only seven games played. |
| April 2, 2008 Head coach Tony Sparano, who was the Dallas Cowboys running-game coordinator last year, has no qualms about finding ways to get Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams to share the backfield workload, according to the Palm Beach Post. "I think it's a good problem," Sparano said. "My experiences have been obviously in Dallas to have a couple of those guys ready to play. In our league you're seeing less and less of that one back, that guy that's doing it all the time. I don't really know how each one of them may complement one another right now until we get out on the field and we see them. So they know that there's competition there as well. Ronnie knows that. Ricky knows that." Sparano is also high on Lorenzo Booker, making the Miami backfield situation look very muddy heading into the 2008 season. |
| April 1, 2008 Ronnie Brown, who is currently recovering from a torn ACL, is expected to be back by training camp, according to the Miami Herald. "We'll see how the thing goes, but right now I think in our minds Ronnie should be ready for training camp," head coach Tony Sparano said. The report mirrors several others that we have posted during the offseason. In other words, the news continues to be favorable for Brown, who is said to be working like a demon in relation to his rehab. |
| March 15, 2008 Ronnie Brown is recovering well from a torn ACL, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "He's started running a while ago, is lifting weights, is in great spirits and on track," Brown's agent Todd E. France said Friday. "We don't see any obstacles in our way. He's got the drive to be ready." Brown's season was cut short in October due to the injury, but hopefully he will be able to get up near full speed by training camp. |
| February 21, 2008 According to a story in the Miami Herald, executive vice president of football operations, Bill Parcells, stated the he was wasnt overly excited by RB Darren McFaddens prospects at the professional level. Reportedly, Parcells made this statement to co-workers at EPSN prior to leaving his studio job to accept the front office gig with Miami. We all know that smokescreens are in the air during this time of the year, but we expect Parcells to start his tenure by rebuilding the Dolphins from the inside out, meaning he will probably burn that 1.01 pick on a player in the trenches. |
| February 21, 2008 Miami Dolphins executive vice president of football operations Bill Parcells said that RB Ronnie Browns rehabilitation is going very well and he should be back in the fold by training camp, according to the Miami Herald. Brown, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL on Nov.1, was having the best season of his young career in 2007, prior to going down with the injury. Normally running backs returning from major reconstructive knee surgery take a full season to get their legs back under them, so dont reach too early for Brown on draft day. |
