Dolphins' Thomas won't play Sunday; Seau placed on IR

Davie, FL (Sports Network) - Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas is listed as out for Sunday's game against Oakland because of a separated shoulder.

Thomas, who might miss a couple of weeks, was hurt during this past Sunday's game against Cleveland while delivering a hit to Browns quarterback Charlie Frye late in the second quarter.
The hit was not severe and came after Frye had delivered a pass, but Thomas immediately looked at his right arm and eventually was carted into the locker room.

Thomas, Miami's leading tackler, was in on five stops before leaving the game.
In other team news, linebacker Junior Seau was placed on injured reserve. Seau's season is over after the 12-time Pro Bowl selection had been bothered by a calf and an Achilles' tendon injury. A 16-year pro, Seau was in too much pain to continue playing and felt the injuries would not get better, and could even worsen, unless he took the rest of the season off.

"The plan (for next year) is that I'm going to be healthy and ready to play with two legs rather than one," Seau told the Miami Herald. "So I'll be back. It might not be here, but I'll be back."
Seau had started five of the seven games in which he played this year, and recorded 36 tackles. He also added a sack and two passes defensed
To fill Seau's spot on the active roster, Miami signed linebacker Zeke Moreno.

The Dolphins also announced that they claimed linebacker T.J. Hollowell off waivers from the New York Jets. To make room for Hollowell on the 53-man roster, the team released defensive tackle Josh Shaw.
