Middle linebacker Zach Thomas, the heart and soul of the Miami Dolphins' defense for a decade, will attempt to play the remaining five games of this season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

The Miami Dolphins placed linebacker Junior Seau on injured reserve Wednesday, a move that ends the season for the 16-year veteran, and possibly his stay with the team, as well.

Linebacker Zach Thomas, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, was carted off the field just before halftime with a shoulder injury he sustained trying to hit Browns rookie quarterback Charlie Frye.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Gus Frerotte rejoined practice on a limited basis Friday, an indication he'll probably start at Cleveland despite a sprained right index finger.

The Miami Dolphins placed wide receiver David Boston on injured reserve Tuesday with a knee injury.

The Dolphins continue to have talks with agent Leigh Steinberg about a revised contract for running back Ricky Williams, although the talks aren't very close to a resolution.
