The Dolphins will be without backup guard Nate Garner for at least the next 8 weeks due to surgery on his left foot.  He played in 16 games (8 starts) for the Fins last season.  The 25-year old, 6’7″, 325 pound Garner is important to the Dolphins’ offensive line so they hope he will be ready to return in 8 weeks.

UPDATE:  (8/31/2010) – The Dolphins have placed Nate Garner on I.R. ending his season.
