Dolphins elevate Lamm, Sanders for Sunday versus Packers

Dolphins elevate Lamm, Sanders for Sunday versus Packers

The Miami Dolphins announced Saturday afternoon the elevation of offensive tackle Kendall Lamm and wide receiver Braylon Sanders from the team’s practice squad. Both players will be available for the team’s Week 16 game on Sunday when the Dolphins host the Green Bay Packers and will provide depth at positions with injury concerns heading into the week.

Miami listed two players as doubtful on Friday’s injury report, offensive tackle Eric Fisher and wide receiver River Cracraft, both with calf injuries. Lamm and Sanders provide insurance should either or both active-roster players not be able to play tomorrow.

This marks the second elevation this season for Lamm, who was also available, but did not play, in Week 13 when the Dolphins faced the San Francisco 49ers. Lamm joined the Dolphins at the end of November. He began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans, signed out of Appalachian State in 2015. He has also spent time with the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans, as well as having a training camp stint this year with the Detroit Lions .

Miami has previously elevated Sanders twice, last week against the Buffalo Bills and back in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He joined the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent this year out of Mississippi. He caught two passes for 17 yards against the Lions in his NFL debut and was targeted once last week but did not record a reception.

Teams are allowed to elevate two players per week from their practice squad, making them eligible to be among the 46 players who can appear in that week’s game. An individual player can be elevated three times per season. With Sanders now reaching the three-game limit, if Miami wants to use him again this year, they will have to sign him to the standard 53-man roster.

Miami kicks off against the Packers at 1 pm ET tomorrow from Miami Gardens’ Hard Rock Stadium.

Committee week in Florida’s Capitol: Welcome to the festival of ignorance

Image
Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Seems Sen. Joe Gruters, R-$ara$ota, who also is chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, was intimately involved with a plot to quash the Democratic vote. Remember that “ voting reform ” bill the governor signed on “Fox and Friends” last May? The one that restricts access to ballot drop-boxes, limits vote-by-mail applications, forbids giving people standing in long lines a bottle of water, and lets partisan poll watchers police canvassing boards? Even though Florida ran an immaculate election in 2020, Republicans goose-stepped in time with the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and claimed with straight faces they merely wanted to prevent election “fraud” — which is about as common as polar bears in Miami. (What fraud there was, was courtesy of the GOP .) Joe Gruters ...

U.S. House GOP would make it easier for feds to give public lands away to states

Image
U.S. House Republicans included in the new rules for the chamber they passed this month a provision meant to make it easier for Congress to give away public lands. The provision is a fairly technical piece of the 55-page  rules package . It affects internal House accounting and requires that anytime Congress were to give any federal lands to a state, municipality or tribe, it would not be counted as a loss to the federal budget. House Republicans had an identical rule when they controlled the chamber from 2017 to 2019. Advocates and critics agree the measure would be helpful to any effort by the House to transfer federal lands to states. But they disagree about the wisdom of such giveaways. Republicans and conservative groups see states as preferable stewards of most public lands. Those closest to the land are in a better position to make decisions on how to manage them than those in Washington bureaucracies, they say. Environmental groups and Democrats see federal divest...

Democratic governors press U.S. Senate to act on voting rights legislation

Image
WASHINGTON — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and 16 other Democratic governors are urging the U.S. Senate to pass two bills that aim to protect voting rights. Both measures need 60 votes to advance under Senate rules but have been stalled by Republican opposition in the evenly divided Senate. “Without decisive action by the federal government this year to protect voters’ access to the ballot and ensure the integrity and transparency of our elections, the voices of Americans across the country, especially Americans of color, will be suppressed,” the governors wrote in a Monday  letter  to U.S. Senate leadership. Governors who signed the letter include Jared Polis of Colorado, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Steve Sisolak of Nevada, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Kate Brown of Oregon, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Tony Evers of Wisconsin, among others. One bill, known as the  John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2...
