    "Early reports". Busy at the office right now. Can't look into it.

    Can anyone confirm?

    The Dolphins may need to address the safety position a year after signing Isa Abdul-Quddus to a three-year deal.

    Abdul-Quddus started the first 15 games of the 2016 season for Miami and turned in a solid year for his new team before a neck injury forced him onto injured reserve. His recovery from that injury has reportedly not gone as well as hoped.

    Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins are uncertain about whether Abdul-Quddus will make it back to the field for the 2017 season. “Swelling in the region” of the injury is among the reasons for concern about Abdul-Quddus’ availability and he is continuing to undergo tests to see if the problem can be solved.

    A shoulder injury knocked Reshad Jones out early last season and he’s expected back for the team’s offseason work. Top reserve Michael Thomas is a restricted free agent, so the position is one the Dolphins could look to bolster even if the medical news about Abdul-Quddus improves in the coming weeks.

    I was gonna say we really needed another hole to fill on defense. Not enough already.

    That is brutal man. Personally speaking, it's gotta feel awful to not be able to do the thing for a living that you're arguably been best at your entire life.

    we definitely need a player next to Jones. Michael Thomas is serviceable, but we need a true free safety. I hope Miami builds up the middle, DT, LB, and S

    Tough situation for all involved. Abdul-Quddus may have a shortened career and Miami has yet another need on defense. Even worse, since it seems uncertain right now if his playing days are over, how do you handle free agency? Get a guy for depth or try and find another starter? Wait till the draft? Wait for final cuts?

    We could sign Mike C Adams to a one year deal and give AJ Hendy and Jordan Lucas another year to develop; or, we could trade with the Giants for DRC and move Xavien Howard to safety, which may very well be a better position for him anyway.

    Walt Aikens and Michael Thomas aren't options, and Rambo definitely is not an option.
