Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller are competing in practice for the backup job behind Reggie Bush prior to the Miami Dolphins' Week 3 bout against the New York Jets, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Thomas returned to practice Wednesday after missing last Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders with a concussion. Miller took carries behind Bush instead, and contributed 65 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.
