Dolphins fullback Reagan Mauia fractured the navicular bone in the wrist of his left hand and is expected to have surgery on Monday.He's been practicing with the injury, so hopefully he won't miss too much time. Here's what Cameron says about the Juggernaut's development:
The Hawaii product, whom the Dolphins selected in the sixth-round of last April's draft, injured the hand during Thursday night's 11-10 exhibition win over the Chiefs.
While the 6-foot, 275-pound fullback practiced on Saturday with a heavily padded cast, and might continue to play with the injury, Cameron said Mauia won't return to the field until the swelling goes down.
Cameron also said Mauia will wear a cast for the next four to six weeks.
"It's a pretty common, pretty minor operation," Cameron said. "He'll be casted and once the swelling goes down he'll play with it."
On a side note, Cameron said he has been impressed with Mauia's ability, but he'll need to continue to develop.======
''He's has a long way to go, he knows that,'' Cameron said. ``He's willing, he's smart, he's very mature for his age, but he's got a lot of room for growth. People will start to figure him out. As they watch him on tape, he'll have to learn how people will start to play him differently because he is so big and so strong.''
Ashley Lelie did well in yesterday's preseason game.
Lelie had four receptions for 57 yards and the touchdown. Gilmore, who had been having a quiet training camp, latched onto three passes for 35 yards in a smooth showing of professionalism.It's a good sign he was out there with the first and second string.
"It definitely felt good to get out there and get the timing down with Alex," Lelie said. "My stride is probably so big I probably get down the field a little deeper and a little faster than he's used to. My step is just a lot different than a lot of other guys."
