NFL: Lemon to remain Miami's starting quarterback

Associated Press

DAVIE, Fla. — Cleo Lemon will remain the Miami Dolphins' No. 1 quarterback when they plays against Buffalo on Sunday.

Coach Cam Cameron announced the move today, ending speculation that rookie John Beck would get his first NFL start for the winless Dolphins.

"We have two guys who don't have a lot of experience," Cameron said. "We're going to need them both."

Trent Green started the first five games, but his season ended Oct. 20 when he went on injured reserve following his second severe concussion in 13 months. The Dolphins have lost their last three games with Lemon as the quarterback.

Beck was the first quarterback the Dolphins drafted in the first or second round since Dan Marino.
