Dolphins C Nate Garner has been working with the first-team offense "most of this week."
It appears the Shelley Smith experiment is over. Smith, who had "never played center at any level," struggled with errant snaps throughout the first week of training camp. Smith will likely move back to his more comfortable guard role while Garner handles the center duties. Free agent Samson Satele is also an option.

Dolphins placed G/T Nate Garner on the reserve/NFI list, ending his season.
Garner's illness wasn't specified. A reserve guard and tackle, Garner played just 51 snaps this season. Going on 30, he's signed for $1.625 million in 2015. He's unlikely to be back at that price.

Dolphins OL Nate Garner's playing career is in question due to headaches and migraines.
We assume this is the previously-unspecified reason why Garner was placed on the reserve/NFI list back in December. Garner was knocked out cold in Week 10 and never played again last season. He projects as the Dolphins' top backup at tackle and guard. Miami can save $1.6 million vs. the cap by cutting him.
Hate to hear it. Hope everything works out for him!

Dolphins released OL Nate Garner.
Garner missed the second half of the 2014 campaign while dealing with migraines and it's uncertain whether he'll continue his playing career. Releasing Garner gives the Dolphins an additional $1.65 million in cap room. With Mike Wallace unlikely to accept a pay cut and Ryan Tannehill headed for a contract extension, it makes sense for Miami to create cap space.
