MIAMI (AP) -- The winless Miami Dolphins have lost their quarterback.

Chad Henne decided to have season-ending shoulder surgery and was to be placed on the injured reserve list, a person familiar with the quarterback's status said Thursday. The person confirmed the situation to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins hadn't commented.

Henne separated his left shoulder in the first quarter of Sunday's loss at San Diego. He was replaced by Matt Moore, who is expected to make his first start for the Dolphins in their next game Oct. 17 against the New York Jets.

Henne lost his past seven starts for the Dolphins, who are 0-4 with a bye this week. Immediately after the game, he expressed optimism he would quickly be back in the lineup, but the injury turned out to be more serious than he anticipated.

According to NFL reporter Jason LaCanfora, the Dolphins have agreed to terms with QB Sage Rosenfels.
