Dolphins are 0-9 and they lost brown for the season. I see why not bring ricky back to the team? I would rather start ricky over chatman any day.

he is commencing practice with the team on Monday, and isn't even eligible to play until Next Monday -- but they have 2 weeks to activate him or decide what to do with him.
