Dolphins claim Slaton off waivers

Football Betting Lines

09/29/2011 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins claimed running back Steve Slaton off waivers form the Houston Texans Thursday.

A third-round pick in the 2008 draft, Slaton enjoyed a successful rookie campaign, rushing for 1,282 yards and nine touchdowns.

His production has steadily declined, however. In 2009, the West Virginia product rushed for 437 yards. Last season, with the emergence of Arian Foster, Slaton carried the ball just 19 times for 93 yards.

Through three games this season, Slaton rushed for 20 yards on seven carries before being waived by Houston on Tuesday.

Miami waived defensive tackle Ryan Baker to make room for Slaton on the roster.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
