Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder remains sidelined with a groin injury that has prevented him from practicing since mid August. Crowder was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Dolphins are expected to start Bobby Carpenter for the second week in a row. Meanwhile, rookie defensive end Jared Odrick, the team's first-round draft pick, is still out after suffering a hairline fracture of his right leg.
