DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter says his surgically repaired right knee feels better every day, and he's expected to play in the season opener Sunday at Washington.

Porter underwent arthroscopic surgery Aug. 7 and missed much of training camp. He returned to practice on a limited basis last week and has gradually increased his workload.

"He had a nice practice today," coach Cam Cameron said Monday. "It looks like he's ready to play."

Porter said he still has swelling in the knee, but is eager to play after missing all four exhibitions games.

I'm hoping he will continue his positive progress. On paper, it'd be great to see Taylor benefit from teams focusing on Porter and vice versa. You can double team so many players, lol.

At this point Im not sure anybody would double/focus on Porter because of his injury. He'll take a few weeks to get back into game shape and be really effective.
