PHILADELPHIA -- The Miami Dolphins are down to their third-string plan for the starting left guard spot.
That is the situation because coach Adam Gase said Monday that Kraig Urbik, who had missed the last week with a back problem, now has a knee injury that will likely force him to miss the regular-season opener, and possibly longer. Urbik, however, is not expected to be out the entire season, a league source told The Miami Herald.
Urbik, who started at center much of last season, was expected to play the left guard spot following the loss of starting left guard Ted Larsen, who is out for at least half the season to a biceps injury.
