It must really suck to be Dave Wannstedt right now:


ESPN.com news services
The Miami Dolphins' David Boston suffered an injury to the left patella tendon in his knee during the team's practice Friday in Houston.

Boston will have an MRI late Friday night to determine the severity of the injury, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports.

If the patella tendon is torn, it is typically a season-ending injury.

Dolphins' coach Dave Wannstedt said the initial diagnosis was a strained patellar tendon.

Preparing for a scrimmage Saturday against the Texans, Boston's left knee appeared to buckle from under him without contact. With his knee heavily wrapped, he was taken off the field on a cart.

Me too, for selfish reasons. Miami needs to beat the Bills twice.

Not good news.

It is actually good news for me considering we have the Dolphins' second round pick.

But at the same time, I wanted to see this guy do good this year, and help beat the Patriots twice.

Perhaps- but that certainly isn't a 'gimme'. Those AFC East games are routinely close games, real battles.

NE isn't a particularly high scoring team and Miami's strength has been their defense.
