Sometimes the seriousness of NFL injuries are measured in the amount of incremental progress a player can make toward being fully healthy.
And that is the case today with Miami Dolphins linebacker Jelani Jenkins.
Jenkins is still nursing an ankle injury suffered Sunday at Philadelphia. He is not going to be 100 percent healthy Sunday against Dallas.
But he is making progress.
After spending the past couple of days in a walking boot, Jenkins is out of the contraption today. And he did some light conditioning work in the Nick Saban Memorial Bubble (NSMB) while the rest of the team practiced outside.
