Dolphins middle linebacker Zach Thomas underwent tests Thursday for a possible concussion, and he could miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets.

"In a lot of cases, the player wants to play," Miami coach Cam Cameron said. "Sometimes you've just got to take a deep breath, and sometimes it's tough. You know what it means to lose a player like Zach Thomas. But there is a lot bigger picture out there that you are accountable to."

Thomas had 10 tackles against the Cowboys. Teammate Joey Porter said Thomas displayed no symptoms during the game, other than repeatedly wanting a new mouthpiece.

"When you have a concussion or something, a new mouthpiece always fits tighter and you get a better grip on it," Porter said. "He had a mouthpiece, but he just wanted another one. A brand new one is harder. The old one, you tend to chew on it, and you wear it out a little bit."
