Bears' linebacker Lance Briggs addressed a Miami Herald columnist report that two friends of Briggs said the linebacker would be interested in joining the Dolphins next year. "I didn't say that," Briggs said. "I don't know where that stuff comes from.

Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick rejoined the Miami Dolphins as a receiver Tuesday after spending the first six weeks of the season on their practice squad. To make room on the roster for Vick, the Dolphins terminated the contract of wide receiver Cliff Russell. He played in three games and caught two passes for 14 yards.

Running back Lee Suggs was waived by the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday. Suggs, claimed off waivers from Cleveland on Sept. 4, appeared in all five games with the Dolphins this season and rushed for 26 yards on six attempts.

Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper and coach Nick Saban engaged into a heated argument during Friday's practice. The exchange comes less than seven months after Culpepper's celebrated arrival in South Florida. The reasons for the argument, including how or why it began, were unclear. Several players confirmed the incident took place, but simply called it ``family business.'' Wide receiver Chris Chambers said Culpepper came into Sunday's game with an optimistic attitude, even after Saban placed him on the team's inactive list as a result of health concerns. ''I felt sorry for [Culpepper],'' said Chambers, who wouldn't elaborate on details. ``I know he wanted to play. It was the coach's decision, so we just went with it. We support whatever Coach wants to do, and we'll support Joey [Harrington] when he gets in the game. ``I'm sure he was more frustrated than anybody. He was real positive when he came back today in the locker room. He tried to help as much as he could on the sidelines.''

Joey Harrington, who was acquired from the Detroit Lions last May, will make his first start for the Dolphins. Cleo Lemon is the backup and Daunte Culpepper is listed as the emergency third quarterback. Miami coach Nick Saban said Culpepper's shoulder injury is due to the "cumulative effect" of being sacked 21 times. That's six fewer sacks than the Dolphins allowed all of last season.

Running back Sammy Morris, suspended for the season's first four games following a violation of the NFL's steroid policy, was activated Saturday by the Miami Dolphins. Morris is expected to be on the active roster Sunday when the Dolphins visit New England.

Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper was added to the team's injury report Thursday because of a shoulder problem, and missed at least a portion of the team's daily workout. The Dolphins did not specify if Culpepper, who tore knee ligaments last season and is still battling mobility issues caused by that injury, missed the entire practice. He was listed as probable for Sunday's game at New England.

Ricky Williams suffered a big cut on his left heel when a locker room door slammed shut behind him on Sunday, the Toronto Star reported. But the team says tests show no damage or tears.

Sammy Morris, running back for the Miami Dolphins, is expected to return to work today after a four-game absence as a result of a failed drug test. During a conversation with his agent Saturday, Morris said he has been running and working out in Miami since his departure from the Dolphins on Sept. 2. Morris, who suffered a slight foot sprain, has recovered. ''He can't wait to get back,'' said Mark Slough, who represents Morris. ``He's definitely ready to go.''
