*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
May 05, 1998: -- Brent Smith Has Surgery --

Brent Smith had surgery last Saturday to repair a tear in his abdominal musculature as well as a small inguinal hernia repair. According to the Dolphins' press release, he should be ready to participate in training camp in July.

The Miami Herald is reporting that he may actually come back before July and be ready for the next full team practice session, which begins June 1st.

Between May 1st and June 1st, the Dolphins will hold 8 one-day training sessions, where they will work on the new offense. The first of these sessions was yesterday and the next will be on Thursday.

There is precious little information available about these sessions, but because of NFL rules, the draftees will most likely not be allowed to participate.

My Comments:

The news about Brent Smith is good and hopefully will mean that he can seriously compete for a starting job this summer. As long as he's back by the opening of training camp in July, he should be able to compete on an equal footing with Jeff Buckey.

I wish that I could get a little more information on the workouts going on between now and June 1st. They are not allowed any serious contact, of course, but it would be nice to know who is on the current starting roster and how they are adjusting to the new system.

If anyone hears anything, please don't hesitate to forward the information to me. One of my best sources of information is the fans, especially those in the Miami area.
