Dolphins CB Allen has knee surgery
Football Betting Lines
08/13/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miami Dolphins cornerback Will Allen will reportedly miss the entire preseason after undergoing knee surgery on Thursday.
The Miami Herald reports the veteran had the arthroscopic procedure to clean up cartilage stemming from surgery to repair a torn ACL last year. A source told the paper the latest surgery was minor and that Allen is expected to recover in time for the Fins' season opener in Buffalo on September 12.
Allen is entering his 10th year in the league and fifth in Miami. His torn ACL allowed him to play in just six games last season in which he totaled 21 tackles and two interceptions.
The 32-year-old has been a consistent starter since being drafted in the first round in 2001 by the Giants. He spent his first five years in the league with New York and has 484 career tackles, 15 interceptions, five sacks and seven forced fumbles in 125 games, all but one of those starts.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
