Frerotte returns to practice; still a question mark for Sunday

Davie, FL (Sports Network) - Miami Dolphins quarterback Gus Frerotte returned to practice Friday after skipping most of the past two days of workouts because of an injured throwing finger.

Dolphins head coach Nick Saban would not say whether Frerotte or Sage Rosenfels would start Sunday's game against Cleveland.

"Gus did throw the ball, he did take some snaps," Saban remarked Friday. "We feel he probably could play in the game, based on what he did today. We're just going to have to play this day-to-day.

"Sage has taken the greatest number of reps, in terms of preparation. We feel we're prepared to go in that direction if it's necessary."

Frerotte injured his right index finger in the first half of last week's game against New England. He did not leave the contest and threw for a season-high 360 yards on 25-of-47 passing with two touchdowns and one interception in the 23-16 loss.

In nine games this season, Frerotte has completed 52.5 percent of his passes for 1,872 yards with 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Rosenfels has started only one game in his NFL career, the final game of last season, in which he threw for a touchdown with three interceptions. He has attempted just one pass in one game this season, completing it for a 77-yard touchdown against Kansas City on October 21.
