NFL ROUNDUP News and notes
Dolphins: Kicker Jay Feely was cut Tuesday, a year after he set the team’s single-season record for field-goal percentage. Feely’s release clears the way for undrafted rookie Dan Carpenter to take over as the team’s starting kicker. Carpenter made field goals of 41 and 49 yards in Miami’s 17-6 preseason loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Cardinals: Rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was taken off the practice field on a cart after injuring his right ankle Tuesday. Rodgers-Cromartie, the Cardinals’ top draft pick, rolled his right ankle during drills halfway through practice and did not return to the field.
Colts: Defensive back Michael Coe will be placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee last week. Coach Tony Dungy had said Coe was likely to miss at least eight weeks and Indianapolis hoped to wait until the two roster cutdowns before making a decision. The plan changed Tuesday when Dungy announced they couldn’t wait for Coe to return because they needed a roster spot. Running back Kenton Keith missed both of Tuesday’s workouts after hurting his hip during Monday’s special teams practice.
