DAVIE, Fla. -- Quarterback Daunte Culpepper will play in the Miami Dolphins' preseason opener Saturday, less than 10 months after a serious knee injury ended his 2005 season, coach Nick Saban said Thursday.
When the Dolphins acquired Culpepper in March from the Minnesota Vikings, there were concerns he might not healthy for the start of the regular season. But he has participated in every training camp practice and received medical clearance to play Saturday against Jacksonville, Saban said.
"He has done everything in practice that he needs to do," Saban said. "And he wants to play."
