"Associated Press
DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler tested his sore left knee Wednesday and expects to start against Philadelphia.
During Sunday's loss at New England, Fiedler aggravated a knee injury that sidelined him for four games this season.
"It came up a little sore after the game, but I expect to be ready to go by the weekend," Fiedler said.
Fiedler took all his turns during Wednesday's half-speed drills. He is listed as questionable on the injury report, suggesting a 50 percent chance he'll miss Monday night's game.
"Everything that has happened with Jay the last couple of days has been very positive," coach Dave Wannstedt said. "But I would wait until after Thursday's practice to see."
Also listed as questionable is defensive tackle Tim Bowens, who missed Sunday's game with a calf strain. Bowens is expected to practice Thursday, and Wannstedt said he's optimistic he'll play against the Eagles.
Defensive end Jason Taylor (shoulder) and linebackers Zach Thomas (hip), Junior Seau (shoulder and finger) and Morlon Greenwood (thigh) were all listed as probable, meaning a 75 percent chance they'll play."
Just wondering what you guys thought about the Dolphins' QB situation. Seems like both guys have had their day in the sun (Griese vs. SD, Fiedler vs. Dallas), but both are relatively inconsistent. Personally, I think this is the best situation for anti-Fin fans -- neither QB has the full confidence of the team/coaching staff, making it a full-blown QB controversy. Both have also struggled recently. This plus the weather change could make it another happy day in Buffalo come 12/21.
