Already there is a leading candidate for the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year Award. It is Dolphins running back Ricky Williams, who has been a candidate for the award more than most can remember.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano confirmed that Williams will start Sunday versus the New York Jets.
“Ricky’s going to start the game, yes, but Ronnie’s (Brown) going to play a bunch and that’s the way it goes,” Sparano said. “That’s the way they’ve been practicing right now and Ricky’s really played more out there than Ronnie, so we’ll start the game now with Ricky, but Ronnie will be in the game very soon.”
