DAVIE – Miami Dolphins rookie running back Kenyan Drake was asked if he might land on the short-term injured reserve list, which would sideline him until at least Week 8 and he said: “It’s not a possibility. Period.”
It’s a decision the Dolphins management will make, but Drake’s mindset is clear.
Drake is recovering from his second hamstring injury of the preseason and though he won’t play Thursday night against the Falcons in Atlanta, Drake said, “Yeah, of course,” when asked if he expects to be available for the season-opener at Seattle.
Drake said he feels better and he participated in some individual sessions of practice on Tuesday, a step in the right direction.
