Ronnie Brown’s Season Is Over
Published: November 18, 2009
MIAMI (AP) - Ronnie Brown’s season is over for the Miami Dolphins.
Miami’s leading rusher was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of a foot injury - his second season-ending injury in three years.
Brown hurt his right foot in Sunday’s victory over Tampa Bay. The Dolphins hoped he might be able to return this season, but made the roster move after he was examined by a specialist.
The loss of Brown is a big blow to a team that ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing and 30th in passing. Ricky Williams, the 2002 NFL rushing champion, will replace Brown starting Thursday at Charlotte.
Brown was on pace for the best year of his career with 648 yards rushing and eight touchdowns, and he was the triggerman in the wildcat.
