Sep 14, 1996: -- Jordan Out for Jets Game --
The Miami Herald is reporting that WR Charles Jordan, who
played in his first game last weekend against the Cardinals, will miss
Sunday's game against the Jets after leaving practice early on Friday.
Jordan, who had 2 catches for 51 yards against the Cardinals, sprained
his knee during that game and was listed as questionable for this
Sunday's game.
On Thursday, Jordan had a good day of practice and looked
ready to play this Sunday. However, he felt dizzy and lightheaded at
Friday's practice and left early. As a result, he will most likely
be listed as inactive for Sunday, while Randal Hill, who was inactive
last week, will get a chance to play Sunday.
It looks right now as if Lamar Thomas will get the start for
the second week in a row, especially after he caught a TD pass last
week. Scott Miller had started the first week, but was replaced by
Thomas last week.
It also looks as if Karm Abdul-Jabbar will still be listed as
the starting running back, although JJ plans to continue to use both
him and Irving Spikes a lot throughout the game.
As always, the final determination won't be made until just
before gametime.
My Comments:
JJ's policy of having the player who practices the best start
during the week is affecting the wide receivers. So far, there have
been two starters at wide receiver, with Thomas being catching the TD,
but Miller still being "Mr. Steady" at the spot opposite OJ. And it
was Miller who made the fumble recovery for a TD after Pritchett
coughed up the ball against the Patriots.
Personally, I don't care who starts opposite OJ as long as
they catch the passes thrown to them.
