Martin, a second-year pro, suddenly left the team three weeks ago and has been undergoing counseling for emotional issues. Incognito was suspended and filed a grievance last week against the Dolphins seeking to rejoin the team.
"I just jumped as high as I had to,Maglia Juve 2018/19," Grimes said.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins' playoff push will be interrupted this week by a visit from an NFL special investigator.
Guard Sam Brenner, an undrafted rookie,Basketball Shoes Clearance Sale, was promoted from the practice squad Saturday to make his NFL debut.
Here are five things we learned from the game:
"We're fighting through this," tackle Tyson Clabo said. "Someone's got to get that last wild-card spot. Why not us?"
PENALTIES DOOM SAN DIEGO: The Chargers (4-6) were plagued by penalties as they lost their third game in a row.
Trailing by four points, San Diego started from its 17 with 1:54 left and drove to the Miami 25. On the last play,Air Max Scontate Uomo, a harried Rivers lofted a pass toward Vincent Brown, but Grimes intervened.
Clay put Miami ahead to stay in the third quarter when he caught a short pass and ran over defenders Marcus Gilchrist and Donald Butler en route to the end zone, making it 17-10.
Players have been advised they'll meet with attorney Ted Wells, who is looking into the harassment case involving tackle Jonathan Martin and guard Richie Incognito. Interviews are expected to begin Monday and may last several days, which means further distractions for a team trying to keep its season from derailing.
THE DOLPHINS CAN TUNE OUT THE SCANDAL: Despite distractions related to the harassment case,Asics Dynaflyte 2 Comprar, Miami is 2-1 since Martin left the team.
"Ten penalties, that's a lot," Rivers said. "We're not playing well enough to overcome those things."
GRIMES CAN LEAP: The 5-foot-10 cornerback jumped to swat away Rivers' pass in the end zone on the final play of the game.
Working behind the makeshift line, Tannehill was sacked four times,Jordan Pas Cher Homme France, increasing NFL-high season total to 41. But Miami ran for 104 yards and averaged 5.5 yards per attempt to limit the Chargers' time of possession.
"We are going to do our interviews, be participants in the investigation and get ready for the game," quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. "At the end of the day, (the interview) is secondary. We have to do it. We have to provide the information we know, but hopefully that is a short 15-minute interview. And then the rest of the week is all football."
The visit by Wells will come as the Dolphins prepare to play host to Carolina on Sunday.
TACKLING AN ISSUE FOR CHARGERS TOO: San Diego tackled poorly, especially on Charles Clay's 39-yard catch and run for a score.
"That was a fast promotion," tackle Bryant McKinnie said.
The Dolphins (5-5) beat San Diego 20-16 Sunday to remain in the race for an AFC wild-card berth and cap an eventful week.
"No one could have predicted all these things that happened," cornerback Brent Grimes said. "We've just got to keep playing hard and not pay any attention to any distractions that might be out there."
"Seven missed tackles," he said, exaggerating only slightly.
Philip Rivers threw for 298 yards and Ryan Mathews ran for 127, including a career-best 51-yard dash to set up a field goal. But the Chargers had 10 penalties for 76 yards, including two infractions that cost them 11 points in the first half.
PATCHWORK CAN WORK: Because center Mike Pouncey missed the game with an illness, the Dolphins had three backups starting in the offensive line.
"What distractions?" guard John Jerry said. "We've got tunnel vision." |
