We had an arthogram taken on Grieses knee this afternoon and It revealed a tear In the medial collateral ligament, Coach Don Shula said Saturday. He will be In a cast for three weeks and it will depend on how soon he rehabilitates when he can play. This is a severe blow for our plans for the upcoming season.

Everything now depends on our backup Don Strock and on rookie quarterback Guy Benjamin," he added. We are hopeful Griese will rehabilitate quickly and be able to help us In the second half of the season. i Grieses knee was injured in the third quarter at Tampa Bay when Buccaneer linebacker Cecil Johnson slammed him just after he had released a 12yard completion. "It was a clean hit on the part of the tackier, Shula said. He said Griese would be counted on the clubs final 45man roster and there were no immediate plans to look for another quarterback to back up Strock and Benjamin.

Well go with Strock and Benjamin but In the event that Griese doesn't rehabilitate then weU make a decision on the third quarterback. Strock has been here five years now and the times hes played for us he has been effective, Shula said. Benjamin is still a rookie and Is non-proven, but were pleased with everything we have seen of him so far. -1 Benjamin, an All-America at Stanford last year, was the Dolphins second round draft choice. Griese was the statistical leader among the NFL quarterbacks last year throwing 22 touchdown passes, with a completion percentage of 58.6.

In his 11 years with the Dolphins, he has only been severely hampered by Injuries twice. The last time was in 1972 when he broke his leg In the sixth game of the season.
