DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter has missed practice for the second day in a row because of a sore hamstring.

Porter did light exercises on the side Thursday while the team practiced. He was also bothered by the injury last week and unable to finish Sunday's game at San Diego.

Porter has missed only six games in his 11-year NFL career, and none since 2006. He would likely be replaced by Charlie Anderson, who has six career starts.
