DAVIE (AP) – Miami Dolphins receiver Ted Ginn Jr.’s status as a starter has become a hot topic, although he’s not contributing to the conversation.

Ginn has yet to speak to the media since his poor performance Sunday in a loss to New Orleans. He didn’t line up with the first team during the portion of Wednesday’s practice open to the media, raising speculation about a lineup change.

When asked if Ginn had lost his starting job, coach Tony Sparano said he’ll see at the end of the week.

Rookie Brian Hartline took Ginn’s place with the first-team offense during the open portion of practice. Against the Saints, Hartline caught a 67-yard pass that set up a touchdown, and he finished with three receptions for 94 yards.
