Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing CrowderIt looks like the Miami Dolphins will be without the services of their leading tackler for the balance of the regular season.  Linebacker Channing Crowder, according to the Associated Press, will miss the remainder of the season with an injured right knee.  Crowder, who had missed the last two games, was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

To take Crowder’s place on the roster, the Dolphins called up quarterback Casey Bramlet, leading to Sunday’s contest against the New England Patriots.  Bramlet has spent time with Cincinnati, Washington and Atlanta before being signed to the Dolphins’ practice squad on September 19.  He led Hamburg to this year’s NFL Europa championship and has never thrown an NFL pass.
