  Dolphins | Ovie Mughelli to visit    Wed May 16, 12:18 PM

The Miami Dolphins have scheduled to meet with free-agent FB Ovie Mughelli (Falcons) Thursday, May 17.

Footballguys view: Mughelli was made expendable by the Falcons when they selected Bradie Ewing in the fifth-round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He still can be a good blocking back and if signed by Miami he could help spring holes for guys like Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas.

  Falcons | Ovie Mughelli undergoes surgery    Mon Oct 31, 06:42 PM

Atlanta Falcons FB Ovie Mughelli (knee) underwent surgery Monday, Oct. 31, to repair a torn medial collateral ligament.

Footballguys view: Mughelli is one of the best lead blocking fullbacks in the league, so Michael Turner might miss him. The Falcons signed Greg Cox, so the possibility of Jason Snelling moving to fullback full-time seems lessened now.

Atlanta Falcons FB Ovie Mughelli (knee) said his knee injury was a medial collateral ligament tear. 'An MCL injury is quicker to overcome than an ACL, so I have no doubt that I'll be as good or better for the 2012 season,' Mughelli said. 'There was no damage to the bone, so it could have been worse.'

  Falcons | Ovie Mughelli done for year    Tue Oct 25, 05:16 PM

The Atlanta Falcons will place FB Ovie Mughelli (knee) on the Injured Reserve after he injured his right knee in Week 7. Mughelli was on crutches after the game.

Footballguys view: With Mughelli done for the year the Falcons may turn to Jason Snelling to fill the role as the team's fullback. They could also sign a free agent fullback like Jason McKie (Ravens) or Mike Karney (Rams).

  Falcons | Jason Snelling might fill void    Mon Oct 24, 10:18 PM

Atlanta Falcons RB Jason Snelling might be used in place of the injured FB Ovie Mughelli (knee), if he cannot play when the team returns from its bye week. 'I think Jason did a very good job. Jason's had to do this before. Last year, we missed Ovie when he was injured in the San Francisco game. He stepped right in and our offense didn't miss a beat,' head coach Mike Smith said Monday, Oct. 24.

Footballguys view: Snelling is a multi-purpose back who can fill in at fullback or halfback. He's not quite the blocker that Mughelli is but he's more than adequate.
