Stomach bug halts Dolphins-Eagles practice

---

The Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins were scheduled to have two days of joint practices ahead of Saturday's final preseason matchup. Not anymore! Due to a stomach bug and players barfing everywhere, Thursday's practice has been canceled, and teams will meet virtually.

The #Dolphins, who canceled their joint practice with the #Eagles today, are dealing with a stomach bug, sources say. Bunch of players sick, vomiting overnight.

• Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday's practice that appears worse than initially thought. Smith is believed to have an avulsion fracture in his knee, which will require him to miss up until December, but more likely the 2022 season.
  

#Cowboys standout LT Tyron Smith actually suffered an avulsion fracture of the knee, meaning the hamstring tendon that sits at the back of the knee pulled off the bone and he needs surgery, sources say. If he’s back at all, it’ll be December. A tough loss.

• Rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks was a no-go for Thursday's Tennessee Titans practice after leaving midday on Wednesday. It's unclear what this specific injury is, but Burks has been in and out of practices all offseason with different ailments.
  

No Treylon Burks for the #Titans today.

• Running back Antonio Gibson appears to be the Washington Commanders' first choice for kick returner in 2022. Gibson has taken reps in this role and a regular backfield role.
  

Ron Rivera on if RB Antonio Gibson will be the team's top kick returner this season: "You still need to see some more stuff, but you know, I think he is. I do. I think he's done a nice job.”

• Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London remains out of practice with a knee injury. Head coach Arthur Smith stated almost two weeks ago that they did not consider it a "long-term" injury, but it's getting there, yes?
  

Falcons players I don’t see in early part of practice (perhaps they show up later):

WR Drake London
DL Marlon Davidson
TE John FitzPatrick
OL Jalen Mayfield
RB Cordarrelle Patterson (rest)
