I'm checking out Gerald Riggs on the NFL Network. There's a NFL Europe game on and he's playing for the Rhein Fire. Not much going on, but he definitley has a pop in his step. So I would say that his injury has completely healed and is not a factor. Maybe the Dolphins will at least give hime a look at the backup RB spot.

The Dolphins may as well give him a shot, considering Ricky Marley is not likely to contribute... Not that they were counting on him to do anything, anyways.

Even so, how can someone like a RB be expected to play a season in NFL Europe and then go straight to playing a season in the NFL. It seems as though their body would be too worn down to compete with guys that are starting off fresh from an offseason.

I think Jarrett Payton did OK when he did that for the Titans a few years ago. He was the third string guy, so he didnt' get all that many carries. That's the role I'd expect Riggs to fill.

I don't see Gerald being a superstar either. At this point, getting to play a year on an NFL roster would be moderate success for him. It was a success for Jarrett, too. He was a lot like Riggs. Supposedly he was going to be a stud at Miami, but he was pretty disappointing. He had some success in NFL Europe and managed to get on an NFL roster for a bit. That's pretty good for a guy that wasn't special in college.

he has 27 carries for 60 yards on the season so far. Thats pretty bad numbers.

I think NFL Europe is only 7 or 8 games.

I hope Riggs know how to sell insurance. Maybe he can call Rick Clausen.
