Dolphins cut Feely; Carpenter set for starting spot

Kicker Jay Feely was cut by the Dolphins Tuesday morning,
clearing the way for rookie kicker Dan Carpenter to take the
starting spot. Feely, a seven-year veteran, set a franchise
record last season for accuracy, converting 21 of 23 field
goals. Feely has been battling a groin strain that forced him
to sit out practice last week and miss Saturday’s 17-6
exhibition loss to Tampa Bay. In that game, Carpenter, an
undrafted rookie free agent from Montana, converted a 41 and
49 yard field goal. During his college career he converted 75
of 103 field goals and 182 of 188 extra points.

Arizona CB Rodgers-Cromartie injures right ankle

Arizona Cardinals rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
was taken off the practice field on a cart after injuring his
right ankle on Tuesday. Rodgers-Cromartie, the Cardinals’ top
draft pick, rolled his right ankle during drills halfway
through practice and did not return to the field. Arizona coach
Ken Whisenhunt spoke briefly after practice but provided little
detail on Rodgers-Cromartie’s condition. “We’ll know more
tomorrow,” Whisenhunt said. “He tried to go but it’s a little
sore so we’ll see tomorrow.” The Cardinals drafted the speedy
6-foot-2, 182-pounder with the 16th overall pick. Rodgers-
Cromartie is expected to push for playing time in the defensive
backfield this season and worked with the starting unit several
times the past two weeks when starting cornerbacks Eric Green
(personal reasons) and Roderick Hood (foot) missed practice.
He also is working with the first unit on special teams.
Rodgers-Cromartie was a four-year starter and two-time all-
American at Tennessee State. He had 11 interceptions during his
collegiate career, four of which he returned for touchdowns.

Seattle’s leading receiver Engram out 6-8 weeks with shoulder
injury

Seahawks leading receiver Bobby Engram will miss six to eight
weeks with a cracked shoulder, coach Mike Holmgren says.
The 35-year-old Engram set a Seattle franchise record last
season with 94 catches and then skipped offseason minicamps
while in a dispute over his contract that expires after this
season. Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck also missed practice
for the second consecutive day Monday. He has a back injury. He
might miss Saturday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears.
Seattle also released former first-round pick Marcus Tubbs after
the former starting defensive tackle failed a physical. Tubbs
had been trying to make it back from knee surgery.

Vikings safety Williams out up to six weeks with neck injury

Though the addition of Madieu Williams was overshadowed by the
headliner acquisition of Jared Allen, the Vikings were excited
about the versatile safety they signed on the first day of free
agency. Given a six-year contract worth as much as $33 million,
including nearly $13 million guaranteed, Williams left Cincinnati
to join a Minnesota defense coming off a strong season but
searching for upgrades to a few spots. Though safeties in the
Tampa Two scheme primarily play zone coverage, Williams is
considered quick enough to play some man-to-man — and allow
fellow starter Darren Sharper more freedom to roam if he wants
to. Sharper, who has 53 career interceptions, always wants to.
But he might have to wait awhile for that, because Williams has
a nerve problem in his neck. It could keep him out for up to
six weeks, coach Brad Childress acknowledged after Tuesday’s
practice.”I don’t know. I’m not clairvoyant,” said Childress,
who has been reluctant to provide injury information during
training camp, citing the irrelevancy of the preseason.
“It’s just going to be ongoing here,” Childress said. “He’s
treating, and he’s frustrated as well, but he’s got a great,
great attitude.” Williams’ condition didn’t become public
until he was held out of Friday’s exhibition game against
Seattle. Childress indicated he was hurt during a practice
earlier in camp. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said
Monday “there’s no reason to be alarmed at this point” based
on what he’s been told by trainer Eric Sugarman. “From all
indications, everyone feels great about Madieu getting back
on the field and being 100 percent soon,” agent Kenny Zuckerman
said in an e-mail.
