Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford throws an incomplete pass as Dolphins defensive tackle Neil Farrell puts pressure on.

Offensive linemen Jonah Jackson, Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom played for the first time since suffering injuries in the season opener against the Detroit Lions.
Jackson started at center, Avila at left guard, and Noteboom at right tackle.
It was far from a seamless reentry to the lineup.
The Dolphins sacked Stafford four times and tipped and batted away several passes, including one that was intercepted.
The rushing attack never got going.
If injured right tackle Rob Havenstein returns from an ankle injury to play on Sunday against the New England Patriots, it could mark the first time the Rams will play with the line they projected after spending heavily at the position during the offseason.
That line would include: Alaric Jackson at left tackle, Avila at left guard, Jonah Jackson at center, Kevin Dotson at right guard and Havenstein at right tackle.
