Amid concerns expressed by Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald regarding the ability of Dolphins guard Justin Smiley to pass a physical that would send him to the Jacksonville Jaguars, we’re told that Smiley will be eyeballed by Jaguars doctors tomorrow morning.
Darlington believes the physical could be a “big snag” because the Dolphins are believed to be trading Smiley due to a shoulder injury.
The player’s health isn’t clear because he has stayed away from the team’s offseason program, at the behest of the franchise. Thus, Smiley hasn’t had to pass a physical since the physical he took at the end of the 2009 season.
So stay tuned. If Smiley doesn’t pass the physical, he’ll remain property of a team that by all appearances wants nothing to do with him any longer.

That headline says it all.
When healthy, he is a tremendous run blocker. Too bad he doesn’t make it through an entire season…
Gonna be intersting to see what the outcome of this will be…..sounds like he is damaged goods
He may have to hang it up for good. Bill
probably explains why there’s not a lot of fanfare with this guy. Well, that and he’s a guard. One more guy to throw into the depth chart, nothing more. As it is, you’ve got 3 people fighting for 2 spots.
