After two weeks of vehemently rejecting the notion Brian Griese could push Jay Fiedler as the starting quarterback, Dolphins coaches are now pondering scenarios in which Griese could play against the San Diego Chargers.
Coach Dave Wannstedt continued to voice public support for Fiedler on Monday afternoon, after the starter threw two interceptions and directed the offense into the end zone only once in a 19-13 overtime loss to New England the day before.
But because Fiedler suffered what a source called a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and has been struggling, the coaching staff is addressing contingencies for using Griese against San Diego.
The use of Griese would be prompted primarily by Fiedler's injury status rather than any perceived dissatisfaction with his performance in recent weeks, a Dolphins source stressed
