The last five remaining players of the Miami Dolphins that played with Dan Marino will be allowed to skip practice Sunday to attend Marino's Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony. Those five players are DE Jason Taylor, CB Sam Madison, LB Zach Thomas, TE Ed Perry and K Olindo Mare. Taylor, Madison, Perry and Mare all played three years with Marino from 1997-1999. Zach Thomas played with him four years from 1996-1999. Head Coach Nick Saban said he talked to Dan Marino about whether there was anyone else on the team he wanted to go.

The Miami Dolphins will have a morning practice on Sunday and will then fly to Ohio later in the day to prepare for the Monday night game versus the Chicago Bears.

Dan Marino enters the NFL Hall of Fame on Sunday, along with Steve Young, Benny Friedman and Fritz Pollard. He will be introduced by his 18 year old son, Daniel. Marino's other five children will also be in attendance, along with his wife, his mom and dad, former coach Don Shula and many others.
