October 20, 200322 yr Jay Fiedler Has Sprained Knee Ligament October 20, 2003 DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami quarterback Jay Fiedler has a sprained ligament in his left knee and was undergoing tests Monday to determine the extent of the injury. Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt said no update on Fiedler's condition would be made before Wednesday. Wannstedt also would not speculate how long Fiedler would be sidelined -- if at all -- because of the injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 19-13 overtime loss to New England. "When that player has something like this, it's not unusual for him to experience some swelling, soreness, stiffness, maybe even some looseness to his knee," Dolphins trainer Kevin O'Neill said. "Each player responds to it differently." O'Neill said Fiedler had no "substantial" swelling in the knee when arriving for treatment Monday. Fiedler was 2-of-5 for 48 yards in overtime, while wearing a brace to protect the knee. He also threw an interception on the Dolphins' final overtime drive. Brian Griese , who was bothered by a toe injury earlier this season, is the backup.
