Look for the Dolphins to take a more cautious approach with their more precious, proven but breakable commodities.
That means even as running back Ronnie Brown approaches 100 percent while he continues to recover from foot (lifranc) surgery last season, the Dolphins are not expected to expose him to every single repetitition in every single practice right away.
Yes, there will be practices Brown does it all. But there will be practices he's held back a bit to mitigate the wear on him.
Receiver Brandon Marshall is scheduled to be ready for full work at the start of training camp after his hip surgery earlier this offseason. At last check he was very close to 100 percent, if not already there. He and quarterback Chad Henne need to work together and catch up on becoming a great pitch-and-catch combination.
But trainers and coach Tony Sparano may not put pedal to the metal on Marshall's work from the very first week of practice, which begins Friday. Marshall is scheduled to practice. But how much isn't exactly clear.
