James taken to hospital following practice

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins guard Jeno James was feeling
fine Thursday after being taken to a hospital as a precaution when
he became lightheaded and sick to his stomach following practice.

"All his body functions have returned to normal," team
physician Dr. Gerald Kuykendall said. "He was suffering from
gastroenteritis, which contributed to his dehydration."

The 320-pound James became woozy Wednesday night after taking
part in a two-hour workout in muggy, 80-degree weather. The
practice was the second of the day on the third day of training
camp.

James was in stable condition Thursday, Kuykendall said.

"He remained in the hospital overnight to have several
precautionary tests, and his condition will be evaluated on a
day-to-day basis," Kuykendall said.

James started 14 games for Miami last year after signing as an
unrestricted free agent. He spent his first four seasons in the NFL
with the Carolina Panthers.
