Smiley were sidelined with injuries Wednesday as the Miami Dolphins prepare for
Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Porter and Smiley worked out on stationary bikes while
the team practiced. They were joined by nose tackle Paul Soliai and linebacker
Erik Walden, both reserves.
Starting tight end Anthony Fasano was limited because of
a hip injury, and reserve tackle Lydon Murtha was limited because of illness.
Porter has had a right hamstring injury for much of the
season and also has a sore knee. He made no tackles in Sunday's loss at New
England and has only 2 1/2 sacks this season, compared with an AFC high 17 1/2
last year.
Smiley has a shoulder injury; Soliai is slowed by a sore
ankle; and Walden has a hamstring injury.
"We're at the halfway point in the season," said coach Tony
Sparano. "You're going to have a few bumps."
Linebacker Channing Crowder (left shoulder) and nose
tackle Jason Ferguson (elbow) were back at practice after missing the New
England game.
