Seau might give it a rest

He led the Dolphins in tackles for the first time this season and had what coach Dave Wannstedt called his ''best day'' against the New York Giants. But Junior Seau's exceptional performance Sunday came with one frustrating footnote.

A strained left hamstring might not allow the linebacker to build upon his solid play at Jacksonville.

Coach Dave Wannstedt said if Seau doesn't practice today, he probably won't start. However, Seau may be active even if he can't start. Seau said if he doesn't play Sunday, he is expected to be healthy for the following game Oct. 19 against New England.

''The risk of pushing the injury right now is something we're going to have to decide,'' said Seau, who had 16 tackles Sunday against the Giants.

Coach Dave Wannstedt said Seau, who has a strained left hamstring, won't start but could be used sparingly.
