Linebacker Joey Porter and guard Justin Smiley sit out Dolphins practice

DAVIE, Fla. - Linebacker Joey Porter and guard Justin Smiley were sidelined with injuries Wednesday as the Miami Dolphins began preparations to play Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Porter and Smiley worked out on stationary bikes while the team practised. They were joined by nose tackle Paul Soliai and linebacker Erik Walden, both reserves.

Porter has been nursing a right hamstring injury for much of the season and also has a sore knee. He made no tackles in Sunday's loss at New England and has only 2� sacks this season, compared with an AFC high 17� last year.

Smiley has a shoulder injury, Soliai is slowed by a sore ankle and Walden has a hamstring injury.

"We're at the halfway point in the season," coach Tony Sparano. "You're going to have a few bumps."

Linebacker Channing Crowder (left shoulder) and nose tackle Jason Ferguson (elbow) were back at practice after missing the New England game.
