Amid the Hurricane Irma saga that has offered one heaping helping of life-altering bad news after another -- including the postponing of Sunday’s NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- I present you one sliver of silver lining to the storm’s dark clouds:
Ted Larsen.
Larsen is the Dolphins starting left guard who tore his right biceps muscle in early August and is now on injured reserve. The Dolphins have been planning to designate Larsen for return this season.
And because the NFL’s designation for return rules deal in weeks rather than games, it is possible Larsen will be able to play one more game this year than if the season had started on time for the Dolphins.
