*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
Oct 14, 1996: -- Marino; Barnett to Practice --

DOLPHINS NEWS:

The Miami Herald is reporting today that both Dan Marino and Fred Barnett will return to full practice on Wednesday, and if they practice well, they might be available to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Barnett was originally thought to be out for most of the season when he tore his ACL this summer, but has made one of the fastest recoveries from this kind of injury in the history of the league. Barnett started catching passes last week, but will participate in his first full practice this Wednesday.

Marino went down with a broken bone in his foot during the Colts game 3 weeks ago, but is also healing faster than expected and says that his foot is feeling much better.

My Comments:

I'm very happy to see Dan back from his injury and the addition of Fred Barnett will definitely help solidify the wide receiver position.

And I hear from Miami that Marino and Barnett will almost definitely start against the Eagles this weekend, provided that there are no setbacks in their injuries.

However, I'm not sure that bringing either of them back for the game against the Eagles would be a good idea. The turf in Philadelphia is supposed to be among the hardest in the league and that could cause them to re-injure themselves or slow the healing process.
