Vernon Carey Injured

Dolphins starting guard Vernon Carey left the game in the first quarter with a shoulder injuring and did not return.

Carey was slow to get up with 4:50 remaining in the first quarter following a rush of no gain by Bush. The guard walked off the field favoring his right arm and was replaced by John Jerry.

“The next guy has to step up — I mean, [Cleveland] played without Peyton Hillis, we played without Vontae Davis,” coach Tony Sparano said. “This is the National Football League; the next guy has to step up in that situation.”

Sparano said after the game that he would reserve judgment on Jerry’s performance until after he reviewed film from the game.
