Ronnie Brown and Hill Out for Season

Just when you thought it could not get any worse...
Somehow, someway, the Dolphins' season just got worse.
Miami running back Ronnie Brown will miss the rest of the season as a result of Sunday's knee injury, two sources said Monday. An MRI revealed enough damage Monday morning to declare Brown's season as done.
Details of the severity of the injury will be known shortly.
Brown, who was one of the only bright spots, has been forced to prematurely end the most successful year of his three-year career as a result of a play that occurred during the third quarter of Sunday's 49-28 loss to the Patriots.
Brown's knee buckled Sunday when he attempted to plant his foot during an interception return by Patriots cornerback Randall Gay. He left the game with 76 yards on 17 carries.
Before leaving Sunday's game, Brown had run for more than 100 yards during four consecutive games. He also had four touchdowns during that span.
The loss of Brown means the team will rely on running back Jesse Chatman as its starter against the Giants. Patrick Cobbs will serve as his backup, and third-round draft pick Lorenzo Booker could also be activated for the first time of his career.

Renaldo Hill Season Over Too
An already decimated Miami Dolphins secondary took another hit Sunday when starting free safety Renaldo Hill sustained a season-ending knee injury in the second quarter of the team's 49-28 loss to the New England Patriots.
Hill, who had started all seven games this season, tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee while attempting to defend against a pass. His agent confirmed the diagnosis to the Miami Herald. Hill will be placed on injured reserve later in the week.
Miami is already playing without starting safety Yeremiah Bell, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the first game of the year.
Dolphins' defensive coordinator Dom Capers has been forced to shuffle safeties all season because of injuries. On Sunday, the Dolphins used Cameron Worrell, a special teams player for most of his career, at safety. He was repeatedly victimized by the Patriots' passing game.
The Dolphins a few weeks ago signed veteran free agent safeties Donovin Darius and Lamont Thompson, but subsequently released both of them. The personnel department may have to seek out some more able-bodied safeties now.
Hill, 28, started all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2006, after signing as a free agent, and played well, posting 83 tackles. Even this year, amid the chaos in the secondary, he had at least provided a bit of a stabilizing element.
A seventh-round draft pick of Arizona in the 2001 draft, Hill played four seasons for the Cardinals (2001-2004), before moving to Oakland for one season (2005), and then to Miami last year. In 94 games, he has 382 tackles, 4½ sacks, 12 interceptions and 47 passes defensed.
