C Nick Mangold missed practice for the second straight day, but head coach Rex Ryan said that he expects him to start on Monday against the Miami Dolphins. He should be able to practice tomorrow on a limited basis. Both DL Ropati Pitoitua, who suffered a knee injury against New England, and CB Isaiah Trufant, who suffered a hamstring injury, did not practice either.
DB Donald Strickland (concussion) was back in practice but did not participate in any contact drills. RB LaDainian Tomlinson (calf) was also limited but is expected to play.
The Dolphins are 0-4 but the Gang Green lost last 3 home games against them.
