Miami Dolphins DE Dion Jordan (shoulder) was limited during practice Tuesday, Aug. 27, because the team is bringing him along slowly.
Footballguys View: We won’t see the Dolphins’ 2013 first-round pick in the preseason finale. His status for the season opener is up in the air right now. The team could choose to ease him back into the lineup as a part time pass rusher to start out this season.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said RB DuJuan Harris (knee) was going to have a big role on offense this season as part of a tandem with RB Eddie Lacy before he was placed on Injured Reserve. ‘You have a vision, packages in place on how you’re going to start the season. I’ll just tell you this: DuJuan was a big part of particularly my individual focus for this season. Last week was really the first opportunity to play DuJuan and Eddie Lacy in a game as kind of a 1-2 type punch format, and that has now changed,’ McCarthy said.
Footballguys View: Losing Harris is unfortunate for the team. He was originally listed as a co-starter with rookie Eddie Lacy (Alabama) at the start of camp. Harris could have provided a good change of pace to Lacy because of his swift style and moves in the open field. That change of pace role will now have to be found in guys like Jonathan Franklin, James Starks or Alex Green.

Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton is expected to use a running-back-by-committee approach this season with RBs Ahmad Bradshaw, Vick Ballard and Donald Brown getting plenty of work.
Footballguys View: That makes the most sense. Bradshaw is a talented player but durability is a huge concern. By using a RBBC we could see Bradshaw stay fresh during the course of the season.
