The Dolphins’ quest to continue their rapid turnaround from 0-7 laughingstock to the owners of a respectable record took a hit in the first quarter of their game with the Eagles.

Left tackle Jake Long left the game with a lower back injury and has gone to the locker room. Long’s return is being called questionable by the Dolphins. Nate Garner replaced him in the lineup for Miami.

The Dolphins hold a 7-0 lead late in the first thanks to a blocked punt by Jimmy Wilson. The Dolphins got the ball in great field position and capitalized with a touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall.
