Dolphins secondary gets thinner with loss of Jamar Taylor

Cornerback Jamar Taylor has been ruled out of the Miami Dolphins’ game Monday at the New York Jets, and cornerback Cortland Finnegan is doubtful, leaving the team thin in the secondary.

Taylor separated his left shoulder last week, and Finnegan has been nursing a left ankle injury. If Finnegan can’t play, he’ll likely be replaced by Jimmy Wilson.

Tight end Charles Clay is doubtful because of hamstring and knee injuries. Left tackle Ja’Wuan James was limited in practice this week and is questionable with a neck injury.

The Jets have their own injury issues, with defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson and tight end Jace Amaro ruled out of the game Monday. Wilkerson (turf toe) and Amaro (concussion) were both injured in the Jets’ 38-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Detroit last Monday night and neither practiced during the week.

Backup quarterback Michael Vick, though, was a full participant Saturday after missing practice Friday with an illness. Sheldon Richardson (back) and fullback John Conner (groin) participated in the full practice after being limited during the week.
