The Facts:
Hartline underwent a procedure Tuesday to repair a hand injury suffered during Sunday's loss, a source said. The team is not yet ruling him out for the rest of the season, another source added.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Miami will instead wait until the performing doctor evaluates how Hartline responds to the procedure before making a decision about whether to shelf him for the rest of the season. As Herald staffer Jeff Darlington notes, Hartline's departure would be another blow to a team that has faced plenty of them. His recent production makes the potential of this one particularly harsh. In the four games before Sunday, he caught 18 passes for 328 yards. Without Hartline, wide receivers Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore would each get continued chances to shine during their rookie seasons. But Hartline's absence will put the focus on Brandon Marshall, who hopes to return from an injured hamstring this week.
