Wade Phillips just let everyone know that Ellis has been ruled out for this Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. He had been practicing a little, but still has some ways to go. Newman has been practicing too, but his status for the game has not been determined yet.
From DMN:
Terence Newman would be a gametime decision.
Ellis has not had a setback since returning to practice this week. He’s just not far enough along in his rehab from a ruptured Achilles tendon to play yet. He went through individual drills for the first time yesterday. Maybe next week for him.
The other highlight of Phillips’ press conference this morning was him getting out of his chair to demonstrate how quickly the Dolphins’ defense morphs from a 3-4 to 4-3. Pretending to be Jason Taylor, Phillips got in a linebacker’s stance before putting his hand on the ground. His technique looked pretty sloppy, so he did it again, cranking his right foot in the air for emphasis.
Looks like it’ll be the Spencer show again, as Ellis will be out. Spencer is really coming on, and I expect another solid performance from the rookie.
