May be wrong, but I think Portis had his shoulder repaired at the same time and that still could've been hindering him. I'd don't know if they did both procedures at the same time; that may have been a small consideration. Not all hand fractures are alike either. Some need more work than others.Reverend Gonna Getcha's probably plenty tough.

I miss Thursdays with Portis and his alter egos.

Saban: Brown is week-to-week following hand surgery
DAVIE, Fla. — Running back Ronnie Brown's medical status is week-to-week following hand surgery, Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban said Saturday.
Brown, who was injured during the third quarter of the Dolphins 27-10 win over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day, had surgery Friday to repair a fractured left hand.
"It may be several weeks before he gets back, but we don't know that, nobody knows that," Saban said. "Running back is not an easy position to play when you don't have use of one of your hands. We're not going to put him out on the field at risk of his healing, that's for sure."
After starting the season at 1-6, the Dolphins are now on a four-game winning streak.
Saban said he was pleased with his team's performance against the Lions, and particularly praised quarterback Joey Harrington's efforts in the game.
Harrington, who had an 18-37 record the past four seasons with the Lions before becoming a Dolphin, was booed by the Detroit crowd during Thursday's game. Harrington threw three touchdown passes to assist the Dolphins in their win.
The Dolphins face the Jacksonville Jaguars at home on Dec. 3.

I think the biggest question is lingering pain in the hand. Surely it won't hinder his ability to run, and he grips mostly with his forearm on the ball as most RBs do, but catching is another story.
Any injury history for surgeries like this, and how players came back and how effective they were?
I'm not doctor, but some MD advice would probably be beneficial.

I forgot that he doesn't wedge the ball between his forearm and chest like a lot of RBs are now doing.http://www.orlandosentinel.com/media/photo...10/20096883.jpgDoo said:
This is bad news for anyone who was hoping Brown might produce for them down the stretch.

I can't recall off the top of my head if there's been similar situations prior to this season with RBs and hand fractures but I don't know that we'd get meaningfully predictive data if there were. Surgery speeds up the return to play time -- pins, screws, and plates stabilize the fracture much sooner than the body would be able to otherwise. Each player's respective pain tolerance, healing time, playing style and positional responsibilities differ, though, and all of those factors will affect return to play time and effectiveness.

Especially in PPR leagues - catching the ball might be a problem. I also worry about the loss of Brown to the passing game - he's developed into a fine blocker.On the flip side, I'd guess that Morris (obviously), McMichael, and Welker (often the hot read in 3-wide sets) will be the immediate beneficiaries.

I was unaware that getting injured once made one "injury prone" Or that not being labelled so means that one will never be injured.

He was badly injured two of his college years, he missed a bunch of time last year, and he had back spasms that severely limited him at the beginning of this year.Just clarifying that it was not one injury that is making people label Cadillac "injury prone."

I was actually referring to the implication that Brown was injury prone. Seemed like that was what the poster was getting at by the statement.

Doesn't sound very promising. From the local newsrags today:Miami Herald
Brown, who had five pins surgically inserted into his hand to repair the fracture, said he would return to the doctor's office Wednesday for further evaluation. That's when he will get a better idea how long he will be out.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel blog
Ronnie Brown didn't sound optimistic about returning anytime soon, but he was confident he would be back before season's end.
When I asked him in the lockerroom Monday if it was possible that he could miss the entire season, he said, "I doubt it. I'll probably be back out there, more than likely, like the next few weeks or so. Before the end of the season I look forward to playing again. I'm confident in that."

I think there's a distinction to be made between "injury prone" and "prone to injury."I think one could consider Cadillac "injury prone" because he's always had this injury history.I think that Ronnie Brown is not "injury prone", but I think he's "prone to injury".If that doesn't make sense, what I mean is that Brown is bigger, and so when he adjusts to the NFL level, he won't be getting hurt like he is.But since he's never carried the load (not even last year for most of it), he's got to have that adjustment period, which is this year for him.I think next year he'll be fine, but for this year, I've definitely had him marked as "prone to injury" (we don't need to pull up all of those RB-haterade threads, as I'm sure many remember my heated arguments).Cadillac I would consider "injury prone" by definition, but honestly... I think he's just been unlucky. You look at each injury individually, and it's not something that he's consistently doing, i.e. forcing needless contact or something to that extent... it's just turning a wrong way or something. I suppose you could consider that brittle... I don't know.

Some of the stuff I've seen says he may be back next week....

There was apparently a note by John Clayton in the Insider content that speculated 2-3 weeks after the exam but I haven't seen anything official from the team or local news outlets.I think you can reliably expect him to be out two weeks and then it's really week-to-week based on pain tolerance and hand strength from there.

Bumping for more information.
Any thoughts about him going to IR with a Miami loss to NE this week?

Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown confirmed this afternoon he's definitely out for Sunday's home game against New England, the second consecutive game he'll miss with a broken bone in his left hand.
Brown said doctors told him Tuesday, "Everything's healing up pretty good for the most part, but you're going to sit out and make sure all the screws set in a little bit.''
He said he'll be evaluated again "in maybe another week or so.''
Brown was hoping to get medical clearance to play this week.
''Yeah, that's what I was looking for,'' Brown said. "But it was a medical decision. I think he was trying to look for my best interests and make sure I don't put myself in a bad predicament. I can understand it from that standpoint.''
The hand, with five screws and covered in a new cast that's smaller than the one Brown wore before Tuesday, doesn't prevent Brown from working out. Though he's left-handed, Brown has been holding the ball in his right hand during drills.

(Rotoworld) Dolphins head coach Nick Saban indicated Monday that Ronnie Brown (hand) and Daunte Culpepper (knee) are both likely to miss Week 15.
Impact: Saban says he isn't counting on Culpepper to be back this year. Brown will again be replaced by Sammy Morris, who ran for 123 yards and a TD in what appeared a poor matchup vs. New England on Sunday. Morris makes for a borderline RB2 start against Buffalo in Week 15.
Anybody heard anything else?
