Miami Dolphins cut losses with injury-prone C Jake Grove

DAVIE, Fla. -- Injury-prone center Jake Grove has been released by the Miami Dolphins, meaning Joe Berger will start in the opener Sunday at Buffalo.
Grove, who had been battling with Berger for the starting job, nursed shoulder and knee injuries during the preseason and missed four games last season.

The Dolphins ended the five-year contract Grove signed as a free agent last year. He received at least $14 million guaranteed in that deal.

Miami parted with several key 2009 acquisitions in recent days, including second-round draft pick Pat White and third-round pick Patrick Turner.

To fill Grove's roster spot, the Dolphins re-signed guard Cory Procter, who was released last week.
