Dolphins' LB Crowder sidelined with knee injury
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins starting middle linebacker Channing Crowder was held out of practice with a stiff knee.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said Wednesday he thought Crowder just needed a day to rest.
Crowder was riding the exercise bike on the side during the practice session. While passing through the locker room, he said the injury was minor and expects to play Sunday at Kansas City.
Crowder had 10 tackles against San Francisco last Sunday, giving him the team lead with 105 this year. He has started every game for the Dolphins this season.
It was unclear which knee Crowder injured.
